Unlike some others, I think that the time is ripe for presenting a compelling presentation to the working class conservatives. The 'means of production' that were created by their fathers and grandfathers are being razed or shipped offshore. This should be a huge wound to a conservative psyche. It should be a simple matter to present a picture of a social order where the 'means of production' belong to the people - not the operators.
