(463 posts)It is a struggle in the very sense of the word on a daily basis. It can wear a person down so low. Whenever I would talk to many a southerner about solar, which you would think they might recognize as a natural resource to profit from, they would just say Al Gore! blahhh Al Gore ahhhh! Monica Lewinsky!
To which I would reply....Don't let Al Gore decide what kinda business you are gonna have! If you don't want solar because of Al Gore, then Al Gore is deciding what type of business you can have! Because finally I realized that the conservative base is only motivated by identity resentment and any form of accompanied tortured logic. You actually have to wreck the logic to convince a southern conservative of anything because if it sounds too logical then they think they are being tricked. The above shitty logic actually works wonders. Add a sprinkle of yankees aint got much sun, weather sucks up there, we can win that one...and they will be hooked.
