Either they are horribly 'un' and misinformed so cannot understand it or they just don't want to believe it. Take my father for example. Hardcore right-wing capitalist. Took me years to start to convince him what is really going on and it wasn't actually until I talked to him about Bernie in April and he has watched this movement unfold that he connected the dots. Unfortunately, we don't all have the time to do that with everyone so just gotta do it with who we can.
