Apparently, he believes this type of rhetoric would be super-effective, because he wrote a previous bouncy using the same argument.

How to make republicans "WOKE"
Stopped in the VFW yesterday afternoon shortly before the national news came on the tube. After all the
hellos I asked the group "Hear about the latest classified documents discovered?" Got a lot of "Biden's" and
"How many this time", then I informed them it was Pence, it lead to a lively discussion about checking
all elected officials and why we need new laws & guidelines regarding them.
Then after the national news went off it dawned on me they never mentioned the FBI agent who was arrested,
so I brought that subject up with a "I can't remember all the details but it appears he was on Putin's payroll",
"look it up" and out came the smart phones.
Awful quiet while they're reading when it dawned on me that in my red town almost everybody only watches
FQX and they tend to not cover stories that paint Rs negatively. So then I brought up McCarthy's FAIR TAX ACT,
another lively discussion and no one approved of it.
There it is, in our daily interactions with Rs if they are holding a smart phone bring a subject up, play ignorant
of all the facts and encourage them to help you out by looking it up. MAKE THEM WOKE.
On a side note, Tim challenged me on something and I flipped on him and asked if he would be a good Judge in a
dispute? "Sure" he said, then I said "Defendant A claims he is fair & balanced and that defendant B lies all the time
and don't trust him" "Are you going to listen to B's side of the story??"
"Been obvious tonight there's things going on you are unaware of and should be. Go and watch The Last Word
With Lawrence O'Donnell on MSNBC, he's not a far left crazy, more middle of the road, he will not hurt you.
Glad I got out of there alive after badmouthing FQX but it was hard to argue with my questions. Remember
when dealing with them while holding a phone questions work better than statements.
Although, in this bouncy, he converted at least some of the heathens:

16. Thanks
Last thing I brought up was the Judge/FQX question, half of them looked or nodded at me like they
would try out Lawrence O'Donnell. We need to get Rs to quit voting R, we all know Rs who are not
brain-dead MAGAts, those are who all of us need to approach.
The funny thing about this line of logic, for the DUmmies, is that they are the ones that ban multiple news sources for not being left-leaning enough. If you post raw un-edited video, with no commentary, of something, and the video is from Fox, they will immediate denounce it and try to ban it due to it coming from Fox. They will refuse to even discuss the video on it's merits because of the source. If you point out that the source doesn't matter, it's just a video of an event, they'll attack you personally as a Republican troll. They really need to take a look at their own glass houses.
