The right wing are never the target audience. They will never see reason. If they are truly centrist then they will vote for their interests. But in order to do that they have to be informed. In order to be informed, there has to be someone to inform them. Whoever that is is going to be attacked by the establishment who doesn't want an informed populace. The only people that won't be attacked are the people that want the status quo maintained and corporate interests protected.

I consider the right wing in this context anyone who could vote right. I have a hard time labeling someone who is scratching their head over the options today "centrist" or "independent"
