Gotta vote so the idiots don't gain ground. They strip funding for public education, they'll destroy NASA, they'll destroy NOAA, they'll destroy the FDA, USDA, they won't stop until it's all private corporations running things.

Maybe if there were a story in a book about people not listening to NOAA and they were destroyed in a massive flood. Maybe, just maybe, that would help them understand.

That sounds like a bad idea. People tend to hyper focus on certain details in fictional stories while ignoring other elements that tie the story together. It leads to an interpretation that differs greatly from the author's true message.
