As painful as it is, this is both what the high road actually looks like, and how we win, longer term. We need to bleed off those we can from the echo chamber of insanity. The more 'moderates' we can strip off, the more obvious that insanity becomes.
Mockery feels good, but it drives them back into their group. Kindness and understanding gives us the cracks we need to start deconverting them.
