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?

Because of the heavy brainwashing they've experienced, their brains will need to first be removed and dried out before they can be reset.

After re-assembly, try a car battery to restart them by using secure clamp-style connections on both ass cheeks. A conservative's back fat is marbled all the way up through their neck rolls and into their fascinating little brains, so they should start right up. Hope that helps.

This is way too much work. Just use a qtip and hold down the reset button in their left ear for ten seconds. That should factory reset the brain.
