It's amazing what a guy will put up with for sex.....
Of course it's amazing what women will put up with - period.....

What if repeated outreaches fail? I don't know the persons involved (obviously), but there is only so much you can do before communication becomes virtually (and practically) impossible. Just let them "compost", they might come 'round when their brains finally hit a threshold when they finally realize they need, after an inevitable reality check, some guidance out the abyss of their delusions. Sadly, thanks to the insular nature of the Internet and sheer convenience of how we've structured our civilization, it's too easy to, even after a reality check, to just go back into their husks. "Doublethink", "compartmentalization" & "robust cognitive dissonance" fail to capture the evil of these ideologies that captures the unfortunate humans that end up in them.
I have a lot of people I have lost through the time I've been online, but also IRL and on 'social' media down the far-right pipeline, and due to my social awkwardness IRL, only very close friends have stuck around - pains me to write. Fucking opportunistic assholes. Heh, like saying 'asshole' twice.

You expect that after 4 years of ( D ) motherfucking them at every chance - that the ( R ) camp is going to want to kiss and make up?
Buddy - they want blood....
I'm just gonna sit on the sidelines and laugh at both...
And hum a couple rounds of Kumbya just for irony's sake....

Dude, with all due "respect", the trumpanzee disease has split families because of impressionable people in those families. This is fucking evil, and any attempt to make amends is admirable, IMHO.
EDIT: and you can shove that fucking moronic "Both Sides™" crap up your peehole with a shovel.

The conservatives talk about the liberal "disease" in those exact same tones - with both sides insisting right is on their side.......

Feeling a bit of an evil streak...should I call my brother and laugh maniacally? Wonder if he has taken his jumbo-sized Trump 2020 banner down yet.
Bwahahahahahahahaha!

I only intend to reach out for beer.
