We are in a climate emergency that must be drastically dealt with immediately.

I might even go so far as plant a few policies in their heads. "We are in a climate emergency, and we should address it immediately with policies such as carbon tax-and-dividend, ending subsidies for harmful industries such as fossil fuels and industrial agriculture, investing in both established and promising renewable energy sources such as solar and wind and tidal and geothermal, reducing our dependence on cars with more electrified public transport and denser urban design, and encouraging better urban land use patterns with land value taxes." One sentence = one thought, right?

I'm not sure that just putting the message in their heads would make them actually do it. I feel like the (American) right wing party would just start campaigning with "The commie liberals are using Jewish space lasers to plant their eco hoax in our brains! We must vote the out before they use it to turn your children trans!!!!"
