How would you approach persuading a far extreme conservative toward center? What would you set as a realistic goal for a productive discourse? Would it be better attempt to do so in person rather than online?

On the opposite side how do you deprogram a tankies?

I'm not sure that's really the opposite side, in reality.

Just the premise of this question is beyond parody. Americans, you are so screwed.

To people asking this question seriously: has it occurred to you that your conservative fellow citizens are asking exactly the same silly question about how to deal with you?

They have a vote. You're going to get precisely nowhere if you try to "deprogram" them. You're just going to have to talk to them, and that begins with listening.

it's funny that the other question about "how would you deprogram an extreme liberal" got so many down votes rather than this one
