Having moved to the south, and in an area where the percentage of Trump voters (and current supporters) are the VAST majority, they don't know about this stuff. And if you try to explain what data can be gathered they don't really believe you. Let alone saying what can be done, or the damages of that data being hacked. Though this Equifax thing has been helping me convey the importance to them.

tldr: They aren't aware. They aren't techies.

P.S. We're in a two party system. Just because you agree with some policies doesn't mean you agree with all policies.

I think a large part of your problem is your voting system. Representative democracy with proportional representation and no gerrymandering is what is needed, imho.
