I've just been slowly trying to feed them info, I try and say things like "hey isn't it weird how John Oliver's entire show is just about Trump? Isn't it weird how his entire show is literally just ragging on the POTUS? Is that really all he wants his show to be about?"

Or "isn't it weird how on social media everyone seems to think identically and the only news you read is all from the exact same view point?"

Just subtle things, after Islamic terrorist attacks I'll try and suggest people think about why they might be occurring (Islamic refugees) and the possible ways to stop further attacks happening (limit Islamic refugees) but my friends have completely written me off, are brainwashed and can only respond with "racist bigot alt-right" etc. Why are these friendships even worth saving?

This is a brilliantly subtle tactic, thanks for sharing. I just had great success using this on my boss, who is/was a big Hillary supporter. We found common ground (can you believe the entire media is just nonstop Trump bashing), and he agreed and said he's sick of it too.
