I'm sorry that the right wing was co-opted by grifters and Nazi's for their own ends in the United States. But they've fed the right wing base misinformation for decades, and the result is that where there are bastions of educated, well informed, and empathetic people, those right wing views aren't well received.
To put it bluntly: - Science is good
- Religious fundamentalism is bad
- Racism exists
- The experts are better than your Facebook feed
- Brown people aren't stealing from you
- You don't need to own a gun
- Most of your problems are the result of your choices, not drag queens
- What you saw on Fox News isn't true

Just because you think you're smarter than people on the right, doesn't make it true. Lots of people on the right support gun control, abhor racism and don't care one way or another about drag queens.
Your reductive perception of what all people on the right believe only exists in your mind, painting with such a broad stroke rarely leads anywhere good.
Dismissing every dissenting opinion as trolling or baiting doesn't help, why don't you actually try to engage with alternate views with some respect, see if it goes somewhere.
