At least a modicum of knowledge about logic and fallacies. We know that is not too complex a subject.

Once people can recognize a logical fallacy, that is when there can be a shift from manipulation, opinions and deflections. It is really simple and so fundamental. It is a road to more reliance on knowledge and facts, a transcendence of beliefs, if you will.

"Oh, that's a false equivalence there. That is obviously a fallacy of deflection." and so forth. You can't get much traction from Republican rhetoric and spin under those circumstances.
