10. Whether they are ignorant, willfully ignorant, or conditioned like Pavlov's dogs doesn't make a difference.

They are who they are and what they choose to expose themselves to is not likely to change. Because of that we can isolate and target them. The objective of such a campaign would not be to increase the blue votes, but to decrease their motivation to vote red. Use conflicting information from one locality to the next, establish an atmosphere of distrust among neighbors.
We don't need their votes. Bringing them into the party is destructive. If they lose trust or interest in republican policies and fail to vote, or vote against republican positions is good enough. You know the saying, I don't have to run faster than the alligator, I just have to run faster than you.
