20. I have had some success when I get the blank I don't care about
politics look, or, it will all even out eventually bit, by shouting,"This is not politics as usual! I'm not talking about your father's boring mundane politics I'm telling you our democracy is in crises!" Then I plant a few seeds about electronic voting machines and the possibility of real civil unrest if they try to steal another election. That usually gets the eyes to open wide.

I'm careful not to pile drive it home at first. I find that people want to know more and ask me whenever they see me for more information and thats a great opportunity to educate them as to how to educate themselves. I have had great success with this, I call it "the shock treatment".

Its important to convey urgent distress and with me its no act I assure you. For some that do not have much time to cruise the web I send them little bulletins which are much appreciated. After a few weeks they are on board big time.
