3-6 months from now, can we remind all the wing-nutz they're not in a re-education camp?

No jack-booted thugs will have come for their guns.
No government Death Panels(tm) will have taken away their health care. (just the usual corporate death panels)
No Neo-Black-Panthers will have confiscated their assets in Slavery Reparations.
Nobody will have transferred any capital assets of production to The State (you know - socialism)
There will be no free government drive-thru abortion clinics on every corner next to the Starbucks
None of them will have *really* Gone Galt, even though we'd all have a bit more peace and quiet if they would just go through with it.

I realize that pointing these things out will never change their minds, but it might mean something to the casual low-information-but-reality-based voters out there.
