I wouldn't consider myself far right. But the few family members that I still attempt to talk to its help to realize that in their eyes(even if it isn't the truth) their overall quality of life has decreased while people they disagree with have seen an increase in overall QoL. Now, a non-emotional look at that situation doesn't suggest that one causes the other, but they perceive it that way. I believe that one of the first things that need to be done is showing/convincing them that just because those they don't like are enjoying some time in the sun, it isn't the cause of their current bad time.
Another, perhaps harder to accomplish, things that needs to happen for the mid to far right to come back to the table is realizing that holding on to traditions does not mean reverting to the past. As an example, I believe family units are the backbone of our society and are important to the development of the next generation. I do not care if the parents are heterosexual or homosexual or something else as long as they love their children, raise them to be cognisant of the laws and social contracts we have, and treat them well.
At the end of the day, right or left, as long as we are all trying to get to a place where our fellow countrymen are safe, happy, and able to provide for themselves I don't mind if we bicker about which road to take to get there. And I'll always back good faith compromise over either side getting its way unopposed.
