Here's a deprogramming technique that surprisingly worked. One less Trump supporter!
This particular individual is a casual acquaintance - friend of a friend. She was radicalized about two years ago by a conservative megachurch in town that got their hooks in her when she visited once with her mother-in-law. They fed her the far-right talking points in emails, texts and social media exchanges, gradually sucking her into their "media" bubble and making sure she stayed there.
What follows is not verbatim of course, but a good approximation of the exchange.
A couple of weeks ago we were at a non-political gathering with mutual friends. Miss Trumphumper made some comment about not having a problem with LGBTQ+ folks "until they started targeting children." As the mom of a trans child (she did not know this at the time), I couldn't help myself. But I was cool. I asked her to explain what she meant by targeting children and when this was supposed to have "started."
She told me "those perverts" are now trying to pass legislation in multiple states to get the age of consent lowered to 13 and child brides. And something about drag.
Ooof! Deep breath.
I asked her how the LGBTQ+ community could even do that since they aren't a political party. She said something about lobbying groups. But of course could not name one when I asked. I told her that no, the LGBTQ+ community does not have lobbying groups trying to lower the age of consent or legalize child marriage. In fact, that would be some the majority Republican legislatures in various states trying to do that.
Of course she didn't believe me and said she didn't know where I got my news because obviously I wasn't getting the truth about the LGBTQ+ threat to our society.
Light bulb moment!
I said, "hey, since you're bringing up where we get our news, I've got a challenge for you. A game if you will."
Our mutual friend immediately piped up, "I'm in!" having no idea what I was about to say. So of course Miss Trumphumper had to say she would do it too.
I told her not to worry. I wasn't going to ask her to trade the Washington Times for the Washington Post or the NY Post for the NY Times. I wasn't going to ask her to turn off FNN in favor of CNN. I wasn't going to ask her to switch from Breitbart.com to MSNBC.com.
Here's what I challenged the three of us to do.
1. Go local. No reading news content that was published by an organization with a national audience. It had to be published by a local/regional newspaper that also had a print edition.
2. Pick several states and read the newspapers published in the state capital and one or two other metropolitan areas. For example, in Florida that would be the Tallahassee Democrat, Orlando Sentinel, Tampa Bay, Miami Herald, etc.
3. I told her it was perfectly fine if she only chose red states, but she got bonus points if she read articles in local newspapers in a couple of chosen blue states as well.
4. Avoid stories that are national in scale. If it is about President Biden, VP Harris, or Trump, don't read! If it is about the US Congress or a Senator or Congressperson, don't read! Local and state content only. Political news about governors, state legislatures, county commissions, city councils, etc. only.
5. If you watch news on the television, restrict yourself to the local ABC/NBC/CBS affiliates. I told her even the local Fox affiliate was permissible. No 24-hour cable news channels of any kind.
6. Don't read anything sent to you, only what you find yourself reading the local content providers. If you get emails, texts, and FB messages that include links to news content, put them in a folder to read after the challenge is over. I'm not telling you not to read them, just wait until the challenge is over.
I asked if we all thought we could do this for 30 days. My friend again, "I love it, I'm in!" So Miss Trumphumper said she would do it too. I honestly expected her to go home and immediately turn on Fox News and completely ignore the challenge.
Surprise surprise!
I got a text from her after just 9 days.
"OMG! WTF did they do to me?"
She isn't in my contacts. Something like this I usually delete and block, but my instincts went "hold on a minute." I texted back, "Is this Miss Trumphumper (using her name of course)?" She confirmed and then let loose with a torrent of expletives about Moms for Liberty.
In a phone call, she also apologized profusely about the LGBTQ+ comments. In those nine days she found out about my kid and seemed sincerely horrified about what she had said to me. She told me that after about five days she cheated and started watching CNN (MSNBC was apparently a step too far in those early days LOL!) to see if it confirmed what she was seeing in local news.
And to think I was plotting how to get away from her when I thought, "what the hell, let's see where this goes" and came up with the challenge.
It is obviously not going to work with everyone, probably not with many people at all. But hey, we've got one less cult member to worry about. Whew.
= new reply since forum marked as read
So happy she had such a mind opening epiphany!
I'd like to know more about how this thing worked and how you came up with the idea. In particular, I don't understand why reading only local news would have this effect. I love that this worked so well, but I don't really understand how or why it did. Maybe I'm missing something? 
Moving to nursing home and not being able to figure out the tv controls. Fox news had kept him "boiling with rage". When that source was no longer available he settled down.
Thank you for your efforts!
Thanks for following through on your hunch! 
over 70 minutes would have done the trick

We can all learn something from this.
The important thing is to get them to turn off Faux Noise. That's 90% of the battle.
The other 10% is the "fake news" stories they swap back and forth among themselves.
You broke the cycle with your brilliant challenge. Well done!
Don't local news stations and papers get their national and international stores from huge news feeds tho? Guess that's ok since basically factual.
I have to watch local news when visiting my mom tho. It's horrid - just a couple murders or stabbings or house fires. Oh plus weather and sports
Thank you so much for this wonderful story!
