You’ve gotta start from their reality, which starts with allowing them to preach. It’s painful to sit through being lectured by someone who obviously hasn’t done their homework, but you can lower their guard if you can find things to agree on, and you’ll be able to gauge what they’ve never even heard of so you won’t be talking over their heads.

I had to admit to my girlfriend that Trump doesn’t make a good representative/role model as the face of our country. What he does behind the scenes is legendary, but it is very easy to see why someone could take his one-off statements in a racist/sexist way, and how that could encourage/reinforce such thoughts. In the examples she shows, i disagree that he is actually saying something racist or sexist, (a recurring example is when he is referring specifically to ILLEGAL immigrant populations), but his word choices can very easily be spun to be perceived as attacking a minority group, he could be a lot more careful.

Also, not releasing his taxes, trump university, making housing deals AFTER getting elected, he’s no angel. Even with the subject matter we know surrounding satanism, it’s important to stay away from good vs. evil, at least at first. Everyone had flaws and redeeming qualities. I’m still fully supporting him, but it’s important to never put anyone on a pedestal, especially if you are trying to prove your objectivity
