So... How do we go salt that field? I have said (and y'all are probably tired of it) you cannot reason with unreasonable people. I have not said anything regarding religious nuts. They are beyond "unreasonable" and have traipsed over to "without reason".

How do we deprogram members of a cult when they have taken over an entire party?

It’s a start to listen and promote the knowledge and wisdom of experts. Ruth Ben-Ghiat also. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-shared-psychosis-of-donald-trump-and-his-loyalists/

There's no need to persuade the unpersuadable. The challenge is to persuade those who consider themselves better than the "religious nuts," the white supremacists, etc., etc., to actually pay attention to what's going on and take it seriously. Seriously enough to vote, to run for office or volunteer for/contribute to someone who is, to speak out against the intimidation going on in their communities, and so on.
