Weird, you just don’t make any sense at all.
Calling somebody weird is not an argument. It gets us nowhere.
Look at it this way. Winning elections is simple — strengthen your base while attacking the opposition. Paul Ryan and his colleagues should hold town halls for the Greatest Generation, to persuade them that we must save the entitlement system now before it is too late and it all comes crashing down. Nobody but the most profound idiot could oppose that sort of outreach.
Meanwhile, some of the undecided voters, and left-leaners, might be persuaded to join this crusade to save the finances of our nation. If the lefties are not willing, then you can attack them to your heart’s content.
