(40,963 posts)Many have been brainwashed by the 'liberal is evil' propaganda that began with Reagan & continues through that hateful windbag, Limbaugh & his ilk. My mother was one. She was on a fixed income & received some social services, although she whined about government all the time. And of course those damned liberals, who ruined everything.
One day, I gave her a copy of the Joe Conservative story & after she read it, I asked her, "What things that liberals advocate & want to protect do you think are bad? Safe water? Clean air? Education for all? What?" She sputtered in frustration, but didn't really answer.
Still, she fell for the ideology so hard, that she remained one of those, that votes against their own best interest, to the end of her life. I don't know how you wake people like that up.
