But unless someone puts together a narrative that explains in big easy-to-read letters how A leads to B leads to Epic Fail, the libertarian lunatics will frame this as yet another failure of the concept of central government.

A hundred thousand Randian crazies will continue to hold the state hostage because they're either living in the proverbial parental basement, or too rich to notice. Either way they won't be personally affected.

The problem is the canyon-sized disconnect between egotism and consequences among the other voters on the centre and the right. If no one explains how one leads to the other, they still won't understand.

Explanatory narratives don't fall from trees as you well know.  It takes work as well as time to develop a persuasive message and then years and decades pushing it for the message to 'percolate' through the culture.  

The Right has funders willing to pocketbook the process.  The Left doesn't.  It's really quite that simple.
