I wish I could like this more than once! In the end, it doesn't matter why ignorant voters feel/think the way they do. What matters is what vote they'll cast. If you can't win them over with facts and statistics, regardless of how accurate those are, they don't matter in the context of convincing a voter that doesn't understand or believe them. You have to meet people where they are, not where we wish they were or where we feel they should be. Long term, we need to work on improving the knowledge and political literacy of the mass of American voters. In the near term, though, we have to work with what we've got and if what you're doing isn't working, you need to change tactics. What won't work, for sure, is telling people they're wrong for not agreeing with or understanding you, regardless of the charts and graphs you can show to support your argument.
