I am also glad that you took the time to educate people. Rush has been saying lately that what we CAN do is exactly what you did - be the one in your family who has the facts, and don't be timid about showing it. When people come to you with questions, or when they have no clue at all what is happening in the world around them, like this neighbor lady, be ready and willing to answer them.
Although it's truly discouraging to see such an uninformed and ignorant public, I found your story encouraging.
Thank you!
Yer welcome. Thanks for the validation. It’s good to have a support group!
Even though 9 out of 10 such conversations as the OP had end in dead-ends, once in a while, you might light a fire in their feeble little brains, and actually help them see the light.
And sometimes, that 1 in 10 might be enough to make the difference at the voting booth.
