You're right in everything you said. I think I wasn't including all Trump voters and supporters as ideological fascists, but you'd probably correct in saying they're prone to becoming fascists. Most people vote for congress and president in ways that don't necessarily match what they want. Like my parents voted for Trump under the impression Trump wanted to implement universal healthcare and he wasn't serious about all the hatred of immigrants. Complete goofballs basically.

I haven't tried to sway people politically much in my life, but I have tried to organize unions. The conservatives there are quickly won over by material interests, and if they aren't, they're easily told to shut up and shamed into going along with the group. That's been how I've won them over, massive social pressure backed up by numbers
