That's not a very big "if".
Lazy voters -- check
believable sound bites -- check
complacent voters not voting -- check.
jfc.. I think I found the problem! I think the effectiveness of this kind of effort is considerable. There are two kinds of things that motivate people, push and pull. Things that are designed to move to action, and things that are designed to prevent action. There will be plenty of both from Koch and crew. And money and lots of it is a great tool to get this done.
I'm not complacent, and I'm not optimistic about what this bodes for our small d democracy.
