The problem I have with your take is you mistake the voting population as a bunch of libertarians, something that is a very commonly held viewpoint here on HN. They are not.

Voting blocks have what they see as problems they want to change. If you come at them with sufficient evidence for a plan that may work to change the problem, there is a good bet they'll vote for it. If you decide science is too hard and that we shouldn't do that silly science stuff, they will line up right behind the next authoritarian that says 'make america simple again' and enact devastating plans that they believe will solve the problem.

I mean, you can get in front of the voting block and tell them that status quo is just fine if you like, but expect it to be hard work and don't expect much success.
