+1. This is something tech bros don't seem to get, while politicians get very well: the majority is driven by emotions and has small cognitive ability, but they vote and thus arguments to win their vote must be trivial emotionally charged ideas. A politician says "encryption is a tool of criminals!" and those who start arguing in the rational plane have already lost; instead, the answer should be "lack of encryption enables Chinese style totalitarian communism!" - no need to explain the details, just push their "scary communism" button and let the public contemplate on the "crime vs communism" topic.
