You would not believe the conversations I've heard.

My husband gets a kick out of challenging them. He'll usually ask an opinion on something or the other (Obamacare, privatizing the local hospitals, charter schools, etc.). After they give some ridiculous RW talking point answer, he will talk facts and point out how they act against their best interests. It's like shooting fish in a barrel.
