Having a national figure she can identify with has just made her louder and prouder about what is so deplorable. It makes it harder to sweep under the rug and talk around. Not sure I really want to either.
A way to see if she is capable of self moderation is to strictly discuss the effects of the policies she is explicitly or implicitly supporting. Nothing else. She may instinctively ratchet back the rhetoric when separated from the personal nature of politics.
Socratic method works as well, but the other person really has to be stable enough to tolerate some potentially sharp questions.
