(10,024 posts)If you want to go on thinking that those people are reachable, be my guest. I will ignore them and at the end of the day we will both have converted the same number of voters.
Socialism is the boogeyman word to encompass everything scary and 'bad'...socialism for real is the police, fire and road crews...it is social security and Medicare/Medicaid...it is infrastructure that people use every day without paying a fee to the owners (outside of taxes)...it is public education and it is NOT the big scary thing that these voters are misled into believing it is.
There is no socialist problem, there is as usual a messaging problem and a large group of duped sheep that hear one word, think of a second of a second and then cower in fear and vote for the strongman's promises to stave off the scary thing that does not exist in the form they fear.
