Try this.

Remind them that, if by chance you are right, then their vote doesn't matter any more than your vote does.

Your friends are presently under the impression that your team lost the election and their team won. But if elections are rigged, their team isn't playing for their interests at all. They have no more influence over politicians than you do. Elected officials don't give a rats ass about their opinions. Your friends, like you, are irrelevant.

The only way they can be sure that their interests are served by those in power is to ensure that elections are free and fair. Otherwise, they are just as much slaves as you are.

If elections are rigged, they're rooting for a team they aren't even a part, a team that is going to fuck them over just as bad as they're going to fuck the rest of us.

But even when you tell many of them this, they shrug and fall back to Orange Man Bad subroutines.

A lot of them probably aren't interested because they prefer to think that there are no problems. Because being asleep is rather more comfortable. When you think there is a problem, and that big a problem, that can make you feel rather stressed, especially if you think you may not be able to do anything about it because you are just one of the little people. So, they ignore all and every proof no matter how convincing simply because they find that much more comfortable.

That is not to say you shouldn't keep trying. Every single person who gets red-pilled is a gain for your side, and some always will if you keep chipping on their defenses long enough.
