How do you inform the chronically uninformed voter?

In this day and age, a 2 X 4 across the side of the head might wake them from their blind stupor of staring at their “smart” phones, imbibing in their vices and other distractions. The frog in the pot of soon to be boiling water seems to be an apt analogy. And it isn’t only Canada suffering from this malaise; all across the Western World, top to bottom.

Money and effective marketing...consequently that is the same way to make a misinformed voter. Here in the US, Democrats have the media, and also many times the money Republicans have to blanket the airwaves with their narratives with little to no way for Republicans to respond adequately to this onslaught. Hence, why pro-life states are voting for radical pro-abortion policies they overwhelmingly don’t even agree with, as this is being portrayed as the pro-family values vote - ads with clergy, grandmothers, smiling kids, etc. And that is only one issue. Biden was portrayed as saintly, strong, bold vision, etc. in 2020 - all over the place with these triumphant ads - on many networks with zero presence by Trump. Based on the latest fundraising numbers, it appears it will be the same way again this time around. Not just Trump, but candidates all up and down the ballot now and in the last few cycles have had very little money compared to the Democrats.


Aside from this, the conservatives won the “national popular vote” in Canada, but no one in the leftist media claimed the conservatives should have the office of Prime Minister as a result like they bogusly claimed down here in 2000 and 2016.

The ones I know (liberals) are just so certain that a conservative is wrong in about everything. They don’t want to hear what you have to say because you are considered automatically wrong. Oh, well...so be it. They will have to learn the hard way & when they are so certain they are right, that will take a long time; more than I want to spend. Now , I know you don’t want to trust the media every time, and with some of them...not any time. That’s the one the liberals listen to; I’d bet on it.
