Believe me that it is impossible to cut through the wall of ignorance that they have been encased in. No amount of logic can make a dent in the armor. The threat to their very wellbeing by the Republican agenda that includes privatization of Social Security, destruction of Medicare with a voucher system and of course repeal of the ACA along with massive cuts to safety net social programs and repeal of minimum wage laws doesn't daunt their fossilized brains. I can only say good luck to our younger people. Unless people wakeup damn soon their future looks mighty bleak.
