It isn't Freepers you have to worry about. It's the millions of Republican voters who don't post here (many of whom who would get zotted if they did) that need convincing.
No, because since we cannot convince the hardest of the hardcore right of the correctness of the cunning plan, we certainly can’t convince a squish moderate average American.
Also, many do not get zotted. They support leftist crap daily. I fight with them regularly. The most egregious get zotted, but there’s plenty of leftist ‘conservatives’ around.
