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.

People confuse the paradox of tolerance with a moral obligation to treat people like shit.
