I found this technique called deep canvassing to be fascinating. I think the headline might be a little rigid but the method is scientifically proven.

What Marquez and others in VetsForward are trying to do is often referred to “deep canvassing,” a technique pioneered by an LGBTQ advocacy group in Los Angeles, and one that has spread across the country: progressives hope it can be used to push Trump-skeptical Republicans like Edna into voting for Democrats. Unlike traditional canvassing, which often emphasizes knocking on as many doors as possible, deep canvassing means being prepared to spend 15 minutes or more with one person, trying to get them to open up.

This is time consuming and difficult, but ultimately the real solution to the hold propaganda has right now. It’s worth saving people. They’re victims and part of the working class as much as any of us.
