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.
