I have (Had) friends like that. I told them “Look, I’ll give you a chance to convince me. You believe Trump said Nazis and racists are “Fine people” right? Show me the video or transcript of President Trump saying it.”
“I’ll give you a second shot at it: Do you think Trump said you should “Drink bleach” to get rid of the COVID? I know there is video. Find it and show it to me.”
“I’ll donate a thousand dollars to your favorite charity if you can find video or transcripts of Trump actually saying either”.
“If you are right and I’m wrong, it should be easy. It’s all over the news. Biden is using those two hoaxes as tent poles of his campaign. surely the video will be easy to find in a few minutes on Google”
It doesn’t change their mind, but it does shut them up.

That it does. My husbands friend was silent for days after he quoted something that was not in the constitution and was shown what the constitution actually said.
Afterwards, he became increasingly angry and accused my husband of calling him stupid.
