Best thing we have every done is drop our televisions off at the dump in 1994. We decided the news sucked and most of the shows were not worth wasting our time. In the last 25 years the media had only gotten worse. When we are visiting someone and they have their joy on, we can't understand why they are watching such sh*t. Read books, do lots of research and on the political side LISTEN to the speaker not a second hand report by media or someone else. The trouble today to many people are to lazy. Yes, we worked during this period and have hobbies, but we also travel and get to know people of all cultures.. makes a huge difference...as it doesn't take long to see the propaganda being spread in the media, newspapers, magazines and on social media by the DS . Good luck hang in .
I avoid names when talking to friends and family of the left leaning persuasion. Policy only, there are too many names that trigger usually normal democrats. My personal favorite is bringing up a subject that I want them to "tell me more about this" and then ask questions. Stop when they start tensing up with, " I'm gonna read more about this, I appreciate your insight." When I make a habit of asking them, they do more research so they can "school me". A non-argumentative, "Hear me now, believe me later" works GREAT for long term relationships.

My best success was starting a conversation about the regular tv news. I explained to my liberal (not far left ) friend that the MSM has attacked Trump relentlessly and has yet to be right. He said Trump is a liar and criminal. I said where do you get that from. The news. Ok. What actual evidence exists to back that up? He said. The news. I ask for actual proof of a lie. Mueller? Nothing yet. I got him to look at some pics on the internet of the invasion on the southern border. Silence.Then i ask what proof of do you have of collusion. The news. Evidence? Silence. Then I said you don't have to like Trump but you need to see evidence when MSM tells you stuff. Silence. Then I introduced him to some you tube stuff. OANN. EPOCH TIMES. then IPOT. Poor guy. He is now reviewing Q proofs. I pray he will wake completely. Use the MSM to start the process. Hope it works for you.

It's impossible to argue with a woman that in politics not the person matters, but its function. Maybe you can try to let a leftist woman do the first careful redpilling: If they still think the MAGA Boys "smirking face seemed to symbolize everything wrong with America right now", then here is a liberal telling her story about being "shocked right out of my echo chamber" after viewing the full video:
I Thought the MAGA Boys Were Shit-Eating Monsters. Then I Watched the Full Video
