1. This is Not. Your. Job.

Educating parents and stepparents is impossible because it goes completely against the parent-child dynamic. You're going to have to agree to disagree and back off. He doesn't get to spew at you and you won't try to "educate" him, the gate swings both ways. This is the only way you can continue to tolerate each other.

You're going to have to let go of this one and hope either the cognitive dissonance gets too painful or someone not related to him gets through to him.

I know how frustrating it is, my own dad was a right winger who called me a commie when I was growing up. We agreed to disagree when I was 20 and that allowed us to stay in touch until his death a few years ago. I miss him.

Eventually he did come around, his last vote was for Kerry in 2004 and he died a religious unbeliever, unafraid of judgment or hell. I couldn't be the one to bring him around, though, and understanding that allowed me to have my dad.
