That kind of pie-in-the-sky happy happy optimism won't work on MAGA. They are too far gone. Literally anything you say to them is a lie (in their mind). Every fact is "fake". Every source is "Pfft...that's what they want you believe*. Every survey is "biased" and every person who doesn't agree with them is a "radical".
Your tips apply to regular debate, even to some degree with christian conservatives. But MAGA is legitimately a cult at that point.
When they firmly believe that Charlie Kirk performed a miracle by preventing the bullet from killing people behind him, they aren't a rational group anymore; they're mentally ill.
