I dunno man, when you actually sat down and talked to him he seemed to really understand what was going on.

They smile and nod and agree and then go back to the same old fucking lines, 99/100 times.

Get me in a room with an unsuspecting conservative, and I can get them to agree with Marx, Malcolm X, and Mao; their agreement means nothing, because their views are based on passing feelings, and will pass with those selfsame feelings. The media they like to consume, that caters to their feelings, also manipulates those feelings. You are up against their entire media consumption habits.
