I appreciate what and how you wrote what you wrote. I'm in Texas. What's your favorite idea for how an accomplished professional can make a difference to strengthen our democracy - to reach the "people (who) have been taken advantage of by this indoctrination".
I am a member of an old man’s discussion group trying to address that very answer. We have been meeting for almost 3 years, and still struggle trying to speak even to family members about politics. Most everyone are still centrist Republicans, myself more a centrist Democrat - referring to myself as independent. Living in Indiana that means I am considered leftist. We have lost friends and golf partners over politics, and wanted to try to develop civil discourse that could be used with others. Successful in our group, but not really outside.
The major takeaway is that the media that people watch and listen to has driven all of us apart. We think that Rush Limbaugh and his type have been a cancer in our civic body. However even he often brought up some views worth considering.

We are still looking for good answers.
