“Increasingly, Americans are realizing that the president they have on their hands is more than incompetent. He is ideologically driven to do harm to them, even when he could avoid doing so.”

Any doubters need only to look at the skyrocketing national debt and unsustainable deficits. No one who cares about the country and future generations would spend like that. Digging a hole is one thing; digging a grave is another.

Bringing up the national debt and deficits doesn't persuade or convince anyone who doesn't already pay a lot of taxes. These macro issues seem far away, abstract, arbitrary, another world, not relevant in any way to them personally. I think of people in their 20s and 30s I know working working in fast food and retail. If you could manage to pin a fairly knowledgeable one down on the subject and away from his iPad he'll say something like: "If the deficit is 800 trillion this year why can't it be 850 trillion next year. Everything grows. The economy grows. My food stamps grow". You'll need a different issue to convert these younger people.
