I haven't registered for a reason. My reason is this analysis and - add in how the Far Right Conservative mind is formed.

Yes - Formed.

Abuse ranging from physical to spiritual. Fear. A strong desire to be lead by sadistic masochistic authoritarian figures is cultivated from a very young age.

Fear to question anything outside of that which you believe you know.

Deliberate isolation from "the other".

And my person deeply held belief that as a result - these people cannot be reasoned with.

I would rather do positive things in my own backyard to help other people and show up with my UU and Obama/Biden 2012 bumper sticker on my car. Those who sit in the middle or who are jaded or just simply don't care about the political climate in America can see for themselves who shows up and wants to connect with them.

And MrScorpio - remember this . . . Those people have been taught from day one that they can't use racial slurs but they should hate you inside for what you are. And their voting choices are ruled by that and have been since 1964.
