Remembering the comic/tragic Tea Party sign "Government hands off my Medicare!" Perhaps that's a hint: "they" think SS and Medicare are God's baseline, and only will be taken away from other (less-deserving) freeloaders. Or, all Mitch McC. has to do is say, the Democrats did it, like he just can say anything about anything, and the Pavlovians drool. My uncle thought "All in the Family" was a dramatic saga of a great patriot against (insert list: communism; uppity lazy coloreds; homos; too much education.......)(You'da thunk the laugh track was a clue, but.....) Old adage about, you can lead a horse to water....comes to mind. I think the susceptibility is congenital, and mere exposure to valid input is futile. Sorry.
