that's a tall order. Fascists by definition reject rationality as a decision making mechanism and replace it with emotionality. Emotions drive them. They use rational thinking to justify their emotions and to justify their vile actions.
And violence. They worship violence.
I'm not sure how to convert them.
In my mind, and maybe I'm wrong here, the best bet is getting the "both sides are the same" types to recognize they're not the same and fascism is an existential threat.
