The MAGA base is almost entirely people who are so reactionary to their own feelings that they will never, ever listen to arguments from places of reason like the joke in the meme OP posted.

"If it makes me feel good, it's good. If it makes me feel bad, it's bad." - American conservatives broadly.

What they don't get, and will never understand, is that the narratives for how they feel are being supplied to them from outside sources. A tactic that only grifters on the right seem to have the balls to employ, despite it being the easiest thing in the world to change how these clowns feel and thus what direction they're pointed at.

Just to check if we're on the same page, do you consider US Dems as "right" or something else?

Isn't trying to change people's attitudes (Wikipedia) notoriously difficult?
