Yes. Use the same principles. Listen, try to understand their argument accurately, ask good questions.

It's really helped me have more productive convos w/a far right family member. It's helped move her slightly on some positions.

Excellent! I've had some successes too. Only one Muslim to atheist but lots of slight but important shifts.
