I agree. For a lot of people, politics is just a hobby that they’ve sunk their entire identity into. Like the new golfer that starts buying all sorts of clubs and gear, or the new woodworker who has to buy every tool before he makes a single cutting board, etc.
They discover politics, and the next thing you know, they’re wearing star-spangled ties in the office, they’ve got stickers all over their bumper, they’ve programmed their car radio presets to nothing but conservative talk stations, they develop a snear whenever they say the word Liberal, etc.
They just need a new hobby. Get them a new bicycle, and in a month they’ll have a $5000 Italian racing bike, all the tight spandex clothes, special expensive shoes with locking cleats, $300 Oakleys, etc. They’ll be a pain in the ass on the roads, but at least they’ll be too busy riding to vote.
