However, if the Democrats are coddling and getting their point across, then it's understandable how that person may leaning in that particular direction.

But that does not stop, if you are a MAGA conservative, from trying to preach MAGAism.

We can go up, and I have, We can go up to people and talk to them about the merits of capitalism, of freedom, libertarianism.

Because if we don't, then what are you expecting? Why would they think about voting libertarian? Why should they expect to vote Republican if you don't talk that language to them in a way that's acceptable to the people? The Democrats have figured that out.
They take the time.
