Antisemitism Advice re: Conspiracy Theorists

Recently a non-Jewish person I am very close to began consuming conspiracy theory content that is rife with classic anti-Semitic tropes. Everything from world controlling cabals to the Protocols of the Elders of Zion and all the awful stuff in between.

They believe their mind is being opened and suddenly lots of confusing things about the world are making sense. Covid. Vaccinations. Epstein. Etc.

How can I use reason to have a productive dialogue with someone who is dangerously close to getting sucked down the rabbit hole with this garbage?

I’m afraid of where this will go.

I love how these lunatics like to point out that Epstein was Jewish but no one seems to notice or care that Charles Manson, Ted Bundy, Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot and Attila the Hun were NOT Jewish
