I was a lib in the beginning purely because actual leftism had successfully excluded from my worldview growing up in Texas. What opened my mind was seeing that there was an actual, effective solution fascism, and a path towards a more empathetic society than just trying your best to make fun of conservatives for being the way they are and hoping it'll convince enough people to vote for someone who might legalize gay weed or whatever.
As for turning still-existing libs towards leftism, I do my best to fan the tiny flames of indignation that inherently exist in their ideology, and hope that they are open enough to come to the realization that a handful of the most ruthlessly monstrous and vile human beings alive having all the power over how the world operates actually kind of sucks for humanity. If they're not open enough, I just move on to someone else.
