Bingo, Kevkrom! Very true! Well said.
It’s called cognitive dissonance. The new information doesn’t match what they “know” to be true. When this happens there are only two choices in people’s brains. Either they have to clean out their old opinions and expand their view to include the new facts —— something rush Limbaugh has done for a lot of us personally, simply by being true and consistent over days, weeks, months, and years, or they cast out the new stuff even against all logic.
The mainstream and all of the individuals’ contacts help to keep people on the wagon of liberalism. Slight mocking a la Alinsky keeps them in check. No one wants to be made fun of.
When a lib listens to rush enough to have cognitive dissonance occur, he has to stand up to his spouse, friends, whomever, and the reason he becomes a new conservative is because rush is there the very next day and the guy realizes his friends are bamboozled. Truth wins every time it’s tried. We are created by Gd to seek truth.
The guy has to be listening alone in his car, finding himself nodding to what rush is saying. If he heard rush for the first time in a circle of libs at the office, they will likely all be laughing their heads off at the blowhard and his massive ego, missing the point entirely.
I use rush deliberately both because he made me a conservative and because he is doing what we wish to do to the general public. It’s a formula that works.
We can only teach through exposure to the truth, and steady repetition.
And we must realize that most media are our abject enemies.
Agree!!

There's so much to cut through...complicit media, liberals in public schools, almost 50% of the population are "takers", etc ....how do we begin this arduous task?
