An alternative lesson I thought of might involve service at any of those monolithic megastores, anything from Costco to Barnes and Noble. After determining through conversation that a clerk who has given you his time and (putative) expertise on a given store item supported Obama, tell him that "Great-- now I'm going to buy it, but at a smaller, less successful venue. This way I can help those less well-off than Home Depot (or whatever)." Of course this holds no logical consistency, the clerk being quite different from the owner of a superstore-- but the point is made clearly.
