The Us vs. Them thinking, while understandable, is part of why we are in the midst of the greatest political divide since the Civil War. Trumpers, by and large, view Democrat/Left impressions of them as elitist and out of touch. Not apologizing for racism, misogyny and violence...but looking down on them begets rancor and rage. Owning the Libs is their answer to our inability to see their point of view...not necessarily to agree, but to listen, to show respect and maybe even persuade.
There is nothing that you can do or say that will change their minds. Look at Trump. Look at the insurrectionist serving time. The Fulton county bunch that actually thought they could pull it off bc of one bloated sick man. THe civil war couldn’t change their hard hearts. We are there. There is no kumbaya.
I don't see a Kumbaya change coming. So much anger infecting the MAGAs. We can hope for their thrashing in November, 2024. But, will that decrease MAGA rage?
Probably not. The defeat of Trump will help; he is the one stoking the anger, creating martyrs where there are none. With him off the public scene (and hopefully in jail), I think much of the rancor will peter out...but there will always be the diehards. Not much that can be done except to avoid them.

They are a disputatious lot, but….worth a try. 😎
That's the key...trying.
