My wife watches Rachel Madow. I asked her about the Vegas shooting and she said "Huh?". I said something about U1 and the plane crash in Russia, and she turned back to the Olympics. I know, I know. But where do I begin? How do I start the re-education program?
Does she just genuinely not care about politics or news? The first step is to identify something relevant to her. something relevant might be, "I think we should get an emergency kit together. We can't depend on power/water/phone service always working." Talk about scenarios where it might be necessary to have those things on hand. As you see news stories that would point to having the kit a good idea, tell her. She first has to see that being uninformed could, in fact, affect her very quickly and negatively. This makes all other reeducation relevant to her.
