A nice thought, but in reality, if the 72% were intelligent enough to know that Social Security, Medicare, Foodstamps, and EVERY OTHER social welfare progaram (ponzi scheme lala land retirement fantasies included) are all part of the “Government managed” and not free market economies, the number who support it would drastically drop.
There are very, very few true conservatives in this world, because of the public education system run amok. If people were taught from youth to be self reliant, and that NO government program is entitled to them, and that all of them cost something, and that most are run better by the private sector (national defense being one of the possible exceptions), then we’d be talking.
Ask the same 72% of people who (haha) reportedly believe in the free market if they are willing to give up the social programs they think they’re entitled to, or paid for (news flash, there’s no money, so they paid for the broken system by politicians they allowed to rule them, not for a future unfunded dream) and they’ll sing a very different sugar daddy, big brother song. There’s a lot that needs fixing, and it ALL boils down to bad parenting and public education. There’d never be a chance for the communists to grow if parent’s hadn’t let traitors brainwash their children for decades.
Note: I said “professed belief.”
However, I think this does prove that a coordinated educational campaign on the issues could work. While I do not think most of the population is conservative, I think the polls show, continuously, that the voting public has conservative leanings that could come out if it were not for the fact the educational system has been turned into the statist indoctrination system. I do not know how it could be done, since many try, but an effective educational campaign could do a lot of good.
