8. The monarchical view often flows from church culture and they are very hard to sway.

While I know a number of churched who believe in secular government, and all progressive ideas, and vote Democratic, there are those who fall for the God's Own Party line and have forsaken logic.

I suspect that is what has happened in Michigan and the other states that should be blue. The charter school movement, and the lack of support for Democratic policies in Michigan may be coming from that corner.

They must be approached very carefully to get them to change their minds since they see themselves as some kind of Christlike victims of a godless society, no matter how insane that is, considering how they vote.

Just a thought.
