Agree!!
We can only teach through exposure to the truth, and steady repetition.
There's so much to cut through...complicit media, liberals in public schools, almost 50% of the population are "takers", etc ....how do we begin this arduous task?

We need to think both short- and long-term.
In the short term, as noted on this thread, we only need to flip a few percent to start winning elections — I think it’s more than 1-2%, just to keep a clear margin from fraud, but the principle is correct. Hence why I said we need to retain our principles (and yes, even explain them better than we have), but to also tailor the appeal at the visceral/emotional level to counteract the cognitive dissonance.
In other words, we need to continue to be right and be able to back that up, but expand the messaging to draw an emotional response as well as a logical one.
In the long-term, preventing the perceptions that lead to the cognitive dissonance from forming would be the goal, but that’s a long job of discrediting and/or replacing the institutions driving it.
