I usually ask what the hell it even matters to them and I usually get the Republican talking points. They're not going to change their minds because you shame them. Haters gonna hate. It's a shame but humans have a very long history of hating those that are not like them. Keep trying though, you never know....

There's real value in just letting them know you won't tolerate that bullshit in your presence. It means you'll hear less of it, for one, and it may actually affect their thinking depending on how they feel about you, and whether they have never received any push back previously.
