You have to pick and choose your battles. Don't be that did who has spent like 3 decades trying to get a bunch of people.tonleavw the Klan and has only gotten a few to actually leave.
On a strictly individual level, you basically have to give them something to trust/believe in while also tearing down their reactionary beliefs. Earlier on, it's more about getting them to trust you and sowing doubt as to their reactionary beliefs. You want to start poking holes in their beliefs by asking questions more so than trying to outright attack them. I've had success with people, but it initially involves letting more stuff slip than some people here may be willing to let slip. It took me about a year to get my friend to realize why using the t-word was actually not OK.
On a larger, systemic level, getting them to trust you involves some sort of actual organization that can actually materially impact their lives. It doesn't have to be big at first, but you have to show them that you are capable of doing what you say you can.
It's kinda late and I don't want to type out a treatise on my phone, but yeah, basically I have found that picking your battles, building trust, and sowing doubt have worked for me.
We won't need all of them but we'll want to have enough of them to be won over to a workers' party independent from the liberal bourgie/class-collaborationist flavors of idpol and from the Dems. A strong enough left will pull away working class whites on the margin from right-populist figures like Trump and they'll ditch the culture war shit as a matter of necessity.
Before or after a revolution?
To achieve necessary class conscious to bring about the revolution

Can't have a revolution without them on the right side.
