Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

      I realize this is bleak but the passivity needs to go. Things to do: 1) Make it VERY clear what SCOTUS just did to hurt average people 2) Win messaging battle by repeating shit GOP pulled 2) Shut Senate down 3) Make it very clear moderates will be responsible for what is to come

      Have you told a low information voter that the GOP dominated SCOTUS just voted to make public schools crappier (by devastating public unions)? Make sure you know how to explain that.

      Have you told low information voters how the GOP dominated SCOTUS just let Trump decide who can be an American? Make sure you know how to explain that.

          They just don't care. Hence the "low information" description. Guns, God and no brown people. As someone living on the border of "Trump Country", I can verify that it's really that simple.

          SE PA here. Edge of Philly suburbs (mostly blue) and mid-state (DARK red). That's literally what it is now. Maybe not those who voted for him to "shake it up" but definitely now. Most don't even hide the part about "brown people" anymore...

          Have you told low information voters how the GOP dominated SCOTUS decided employees cant band together and form class action suits against employers & are forced into mandatory arbitration based on the Federal Arbitration Act enacted 10 YEAR BEFORE the 1935 Labor Act

          for people who have been brainwashed for generations into believing unions, schools and immigrants are bad, I don’t know how much even the best explanation will matter

          Unfortunately, low information voters don't actually understand that they lack vital information, and in an effort to maintain their self image as Being Right, they are exceedingly resistant to considering there might be valid informative they're not currently aware of.

          You mean enforcing immigration laws? I'm Hispanic and the white woman is telling me how I should think about legal immigration. LOL.

          So basically, in order to carry on a conversation even to say to a low information voter "I disagree because..." is to educate ourself and stay focused. I most certainly agree.

          I admire your optimism, but lecturing to the inhabitants of your fish tank might produce better results.
