It seems best to facilitate people's ability to change on their own. Plant seeds of cognitive dissonance and walk away.

You think cognitive dissonance is a bug that they would take to realize they are wrong. But it is a core feature of far right ideologies

I think you're right for a large segment, but I'm convinced that there are people with some brains and heart that just happen to be surrounded by right wing ideologies and unexposed to and given misinformation about ideas outside their bubble.
