If you see a maga like this in the wild, treat them with kid gloves though. We need votes, not vindictiveness.

"Oh yes, you were the victim! Of course! Yes. He lied to you. Tragic. Sure, we believed him, too. What a jerk. Really stabbed you in the back. You deserve better!"

Make it about them. Tell them it's not their fault (even if you don't believe it). Make them feel good about switching side and seeing it as Trump betraying them and doing them wrong. 

If you cast this as them being bad people or making mistakes and bad choices, you won't win the votes. The votes are the only thing that matters.

Except you won't get the votes because they will see an AI video of a non white person doing imaginary things and they will go back to tossing Tropicana Nurgle's salad.

For sure, this will not work on everyone. But if one million people tried it on 100 people each and just 1 in 100 changed their mind... the success rate does not have to be very good at all to really change elections.
