    2 quotes come to mind

    The problem:

    “you cant reason someone out of something they were not reasoned into.”

    • Jonathan Swift

    And the solution:

    ”He drew a circle that shut me out- Heretic, rebel, a thing to flout. But love and I had the wit to win: We drew a circle and took him In!”

    • Edwin Markham

    You have to draw a bigger circle. It is the way to deprogram people from that tribalistic mentality. Teaching them and “winning” debates will not work.

      You can have the hateful murderous delusional assholes in your circle. I want my family to live.
