Concise psycho social analysis...

9. I can't wait to hear the howls of indignation and see the crocodile tears.

One must always keep in mind that being truthful with yourself is usually much more difficult that being truthful in a more general way. I do not see a tsunami, or even a decent-sized ripple, of changed hearts and minds from having truth pointed out to them.

However, the more committed they are to their "ideals," the less likely you are to ever reach them in a meaningful way, let along change their voting patterns. If "straight party ticket no matter what" is a pattern.

The ones that are reachable, or even potentially reachable are the ones we should hope for and (cautiously) expect. The good news is that of, say, 75M voters from the last election, getting 10M to think about it, and 5M to actually be convinced, or shamed into agreement would be a huge win and enough to create a bit of a cushion, voting-wise. 6% of 75M may not seem like a target-rich environment, but when a small sliver of the MUCH smaller undecided is what often wins the election for whichever side, even 3% is a number well worth having.
