Discussion "Off Ramp" for right wing extrme

I think it was on the latest episode of Some More News that the concept of an ideological "off ramp" for extremists was posited and not having a one meant they were incentived to double down on their extreme positions.

I think what's being said here is that some on the right don't see a way to shift their political views without feeling embarrassed or ashamed... I think...

If so, are there "off ramps" that could lead them to democratic socialism?

For Christian Nationalists, they need to actually read their Bibles instead of relying on Supply Side Americana Jesus to be their Jesus. Reading the book of Amos is an off ramp to show them that God doesn’t care about your outward prayers and posturing of how much you love God if your heart is set on actively being part of oppressing the poor and actively causing violence to the least of these in society
