Honestly, it’s not scalable, but the most useful thing I ever did on this front was spend 4 years in the Army. My flag waving family can’t grok both supporting me as a red-blooded American freedom fighter AND disagreeing w my politics so build evidence based proof points of your patriotism maybe is the advice

Listen to them fully, and ask them about their experiences that led to that specific belief. You prob will never change their mind but you can always grow closer to them, and maybe thats a better outcome.

The reality is that most conflict isn’t about the topic itself. Emotions run high, triggered by deep unmet psychological needs. We should redefine “productive” in these cases: deep listening to fully understand others perspectives. For each of us to feel seen, heard and understood. And agree to disagree.

Treat everyone — including yourself — as being likely to change your opinion over time.
