they literally called themselves 'national socialists' to trick ppl into thinking that they were socialists when they werent . seems like they were hella successful cos ppl still b getting tricked now
When I was working as a substitute teacher I was subbing a civics class and they had posters of all the different types of government and basically every poster that wasn't capitalism showed a scary looking dictator. 

That's the shit I mean when I talk about subtle brainwashing for decades lol
once u see it , u realise it isnt even that subtle lol
It's subtle to a brain that is not fully developed or equipped with adequate critical thinking skills. Public schools in the US absolutely do not teach you how to take information and examine it critically to form your own opinions, in my experience it's openly discouraged lol.

I can't relate to that, but it sounds fucking heartbreaking.

They really dig confirmation bias, like, their distrust of the media runs deep (which in a sense is kinda fair, the media is a propaganda tool), but like, they'll absolutely believe any media that confirms what they believe and it makes them completely impossible to reason with. Nothing you say, do, try, prove, will ever budge them.
I think that's more conspiracists in general
i mean thats what they are lol
What you just said can be said about flat earthers. We are talking about nazis.

I hope you're not confusing me trying to understand and explain something as me sympathizing and excusing it.

It's a lifetime of brainwashing and social conditioning through church and the public schools. 
In a sense, they are victims - unfortunately they're also fucking dangerous. 
God I'm fawning I dont say it enough but you're so smart
I think a lot of folks like me, who live in the bible belt/south/rural usa have experiences with folks on both sides of the political spectrum that really morphs how we view the "other" - some just get (rightfully!) angry and hateful, some want to understand, some want to leave and give up - none of us are right or wrong or less or more intelligent for how we respond. It's not so much about knowing a lot, but about the way you want to view it, and handle it if you chose to. 

But back to the subject at hand:
Some studies have shown there may actually be physiological differences in self-reported liberal vs conservative brains. 
The studies are small and limited but so far they've found that self-reported conservative brains, under MRI, have a more active right amygdala, where fear and negative emotions are processed, whereas the self-reported liberal brains have more grey matter in the anterior cingulate cortex where empathy, emotion, and impulse control are centered.
When I was in college we had one of the researchers speak on this in convocation and he boiled it down to the idea that the conservative brain assumes that "other" is dangerous, whereas the liberal brain is more trusting. But like I said, this study is still quite small and newish, and I do recognize that looking at the brain to determine what kind of person someone is can be ethically dubious. 
Oooo thank you for the reading!

It's heartbreaking, really. All your good memories become overshadowed by what's going on now.

"alt right" is literally just "the right" but openly racist totally mask off instead of dog whistling it.
You can be a right-winger without being racist. I know plenty of conservatives who are just normal everyday people.

What if those 10 people at that table would be able to convince that nazi to turn away from being a nazi?

Have you been able to do that?
I'm actually pretty relatable to a lot of the redneck yee-haw type conservatives, and they listen to me, but the qanon nazi types really have been too far gone in my experience.
