You’re of course right. There are always exceptions. I was suggesting that political arguments in this system, in order to be successful, need to take into consideration the emotionalism of the electorate. It can be done.
For instance, rather than talking about how illegal aliens are, in fact, illegal, end of argument, we will have to be arguing to emotions. We will have to be talking about how it affects the people in this country and their children, emotionally, how it threatens the security of our country, and thus us individually, when there are not controls on entrance, and how in the long run it’s not good for the illegal aliens, nor for the people of the countries they’ve come from who have only forestalled the changes they need to make there to make their own countries comfortable and livable, by the loss of those with initiative.
Yes, and even that doesn’t make some people vote conservative. My dad has been adversely affected by the influx of illegal aliens into Branson, MO. Still, he votes for the Democrats. His argument is that there isn’t enough difference between the candidates. Given the poor choices we had last couple of elections, I can’t really dispute his statement.
