As an American I’m about 7 years past having a sane conversation with half of them as well. Recently had an experience where I “convinced” family members to support a far more sensible very left leaning agenda (for the us).

It required more skill at arguing that it did facts. And started with a hilarious level of common ground. Asking if the CEO killing was justified considering what he was responsible for.

My head hurt through the entire process and I doubt it made any lasting impact.

But, my experience is that most are so far gone down the insanity rabbit hole, it’s like reading sections of 1984.
