If you're white and on the left its time you started infiltrating these conservative spaces. I do, and as soon as they see you are white all you have to do is ignore 1 racist comment and these people open all the folds for you. Its time to get dirty with the people spreading the dirt. The right wanted a revolution? They'll get it.

I'll pass
It's not for everyone. The main reasons to 'change sides' so to speak is to simply get a vote in their primaries.
I get in there, once I'm trusted I talk about what they actually want from society, and then subtly make a pointed question if thats what the GOP is doing. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, but I always get them to question things and thats the most important part.
Soon it won't be enough though.
Tried it; it doesn't matter, in my experience. Conformity is way more important to these folks than they pretend, and once something like this starts getting traction, it gets labelled a thought crime and sealed away.
Did you actually build a relationship? Or just talk to someone in public? If you dont get to a first name basis its not gonna work. Its ass but, a lot of these people aren't hate filled monsters. The wools been pulled over their eyes. There is no consensus reality anymore. Most people aren't equipped to handle that. I've converted only eight people this way, but thats eight minds that have been rehabilitated to ask questions and seek multiple sources.
Change has to come from inside
Believe me I have tried.
They're so scared of what they think is socialism, but what they describe is actually communism.
They don't know why either is bad, just that China has it and they don't want it.
Yup, you back them into a logical corner which should cause critical thinking and doubt. Just turns into "what about this unrelated thing?" Five minutes into the discussion you realize you can't convince them because they see politics as a team sport.
Buy guns, learn to use them safely and effectively, stock up on supplies to defend your family and community if the worst happens.
You will inevitably interact with plenty of racists in that process.
