That's because people in this country cannot hear a fucking thing beyond:
- Respect the flag
- Love it or leave it
- Muslims are dangerous
- Immigrants are dangerous and are taking our jobs
- Taxes suck
- Black people are dangerous
- All politicians are equally bad and are responsible for everything
- Obamacare sucks
Any argument that is as nuanced as "Republicans are blocking bills that will help you, you fucking idiot," is translated into the seventh bullet point above. There is no such thing as an effective message outside of the bullshit I've just listed because our electorate is made up of small-minded, uneducated, idiots who aren't interested in facts at all.
