The blackmail thing is the easiest first red pill to swallow. It is easily understood. I have a leftie friend (who thinks she's a centrist because she listens to NPR and doesn't watch MSNBC), and if you say general things like "they are using the federal government as a giant money laundering operation" you get a toe in the door. She knows I like Trump I know she doesn't. But she doesn't like corruption and I know I have planted a seed when I say things like, "say what you want but he only goes after guys like Elijah Cummings when he knows he's a total scumbag that has ripped off the taxpayer." She can't help it she knows it's probably true.
