How would you approach persuading a far extreme conservative toward center? What would you set as a realistic goal for a productive discourse? Would it be better attempt to do so in person rather than online?

Just the premise of this question is beyond parody. Americans, you are so screwed.
To people asking this question seriously: has it occurred to you that your conservative fellow citizens are asking exactly the same silly question about how to deal with you?
They have a vote. You’re going to get precisely nowhere if you try to “deprogram” them. You’re just going to have to talk to them, and that begins with listening.
Extreme conservatism isn’t specifically an American problem nor was it first seen in America. While America is running with it strong at the moment there are plenty of other countries dealing with the rise of the far right.
Fair point. The rest of my comment stands.
