How do you deprogram political extremists without triggering cognitive dissonance and defensiveness?

How do you get someone to accept that their beliefs are wrong or that the concept of objective truth is even real?

I’m no expert but your question reminds me of Daryl Davis, a black man who has through one-on-one conversations influenced many KKK members into denouncing the organization and their racist beliefs. It seems that the problem with many extremists is they lack exposure to their perceived enemies which makes it easy to dehumanize them. I’m sure that’s just one possible factor and perhaps others here can expand upon the subject.
