1. You make some excellent points but

how do we get them to understand how many of OUR issues could affect THEM? The only way we even get them to reflect for a minute is to ask how much they would like Hillary to have all this power. Then they say "Nah, never going to happen!" They are either totally lacking in imagination or in real world experience.

Apparently, they don't fly or live near chemical plants or busy ports. They don't patronize libraries or bookstores. They don't want to be educated by an open-minded teacher or by any news source that might open their closed minds. They don't care if the powers-that-be determine what they can read, watch or spend their leisure time doing. The list can go on.

The only thing that seems to get some attention is the possibility of taxing some of their churches. What are they going to do if their particular brand of piety goes out of favor? What are the Pat Robertsons, Jerry Falwells etc. going to do for their next money-making ventures? Inquiring minds want to know.
