That’s the trillion dollar question man, and I honestly don’t know the answer.
My approach is to try be a rational voice that people in my circle feel comfortable talking to about anything, and telling them honestly and assertively when they’re not making sense or when they’re spouting harmful rhetoric (sort of what I did in my first reply to you here). It is exhausting and demoralizing, but I have found that when given the opportunity, people do trust their friends and family more than the random angry Russian people in their phone.
We have to engage with these people and try to help them, because they are going to vote and raise children in our country either way.
Jury duty seemed to work for juror #2. Whomever they were, they were following Trump on Truth social, and they still voted to convict. Mandatory jury duty for all!
I won’t pretend to be as calm and rational as I’m presenting myself in this thread, all of the time. But I do try, and when I fail I try to learn something from it

You sound like the lovely calm person I wish I was when I’m not spouting rage against the RW and China, on Lemmy.

Oh hey, failing to learn from mistakes is my favourite hobby!
