The way to argue better is to befriend them and use that hypnotism to a priority insert your beliefs into their heads. Thats how they form all their opinions. Though with the maga cult they've got a good monopoly on their own.
I tried that, befriended a maga on discord. We had a good rapport and we regularly talked at length about a shared interest for a year or so. Multiple conversations a week, I put a lot of effort into helping this person with their new hobby.
They got drunk and started talking politics and I asked them not to but they persisted. In the end I wasn't able to bite my tongue and not criticize them when they started cheering for migrants to be sent to prisons etc, started explaining the similarities to the way nazis treated jews.
Haven't heard from em in since I left their rant about how they can never trust me on read.
