My brief discussion with a MAGA today
This client was 80 years old. She was commenting on all the choking smoke here in California. Then she lit the match...
"Why do you suppose this is happening?" "Climate change" I retorted. "Pish..." came her unthought-out reply, but that was abbreviated. In one sudden realization I saw the gears in this fool finally starting to turn. So, I continued... "No one can realistically look outside to see the devastation, the brown air, the sun that looks like an orange moon in the sky without considering That this is getting worse yearly. That billions of earth's inhabitants cannot continue to drive large, luxurious, individually powered vehicles without laying waste to the planet." It was those last statements that placed this person in a position of reconsideration of all the lies we've been continually told by tRump and co.. The reaction was jaw dropping. Hearing this from a science based professional person of some authority really hit hard. I believed I may have reversed course on a MAGAt today. And all it took was the entire western USA on fire to do it. Her last statement, muttered to herself as I wheeled her out to her car through all the smoky haze was: "I've been a goddamn fool".

11. Positive outcome stemming from a thoughtful response.
Sounds like a win-win, she has been informed and you made someone think!
