We’re wanting to talk out of differing opinions and show families friends and siblings that you can have differing opinions and still love each other. She’s a maniacal genius and she’s going to try to bury me. I’m looking for as many Pedes as I can get to audio and or video conference to listen to her and type responses to me to help red pill our listeners. She’s good. Gonna need all the help I can get.

If your objective is to "change the other person's mind" then you have set the whole thing up for failure from the start. It's the core mechanism exploited by evil to keep people separated. It starts from an US vs Them position.
You have to have a different framework to overcome the divide and the US vs Them strategy that keeps people separated.
If genuine intention is present, then the dialog can be successful if the objective is NOT to 'change the other person's mind', but to learn, get to understand the other party's perspective, and explore whether there are any grounds of agreement. It's the things we agree on that unite us, not disagreements. And, it's important to be able to respect the disagreements, and accept them.
This is how to approach the engagement IF the intention is to, in good faith, communicate.
Question: what is the difference between a locked door and an open mind?
Answer: you can force open a locked door.
Consider Donald Trump's techniques. How does he make the deals? He focuses on the points of agreement, clarifies the disagreements, acknowledges them, but moves forward to achieve cooperation (and a deal) based on agreed positions and outcomes.
Change your viewpoint from "change the other person's mind" to "expand my view, understand their perspective FROM their perspective, and move forward".
90% of everyday disagreements derive from a fundamental misunderstanding or basic inability to see the other person's perspective, usually because you are so busy defending your own.
You are right. I tried that with my family. They will just sourced the MSM. It's like, "That's debunked."
I basically showed them what is happening with California. All the people are leaving the state because of the politics and taxes. It's almost a light bulb for them now. Some of the people moving away they know so they were like, "Even that one moved away? Oh where?"
We still love each other because I don't focused on the fact that they tried to force me to take the vax. I just told them I am not doing it. You can do it if you want but not me.
