We can't win the wingnuts back to us. We can't deport them. We can't deprogram them.
All that we can do is to hope that they can die off while we still have some life, or that they become irrelevant.
This is a 4T, and the people in charge have scorpions in their souls. We still have a democratic process. We still have rational processes for disposing of the intellectual chaff. Most Americans are far better than Donald Trump... we may have to do some searching in unlikely places, but we won't have to look far to find political allies.
We might as well accept that capitalism, bureaucratic structures, and Big Government are not going away. We can and must humanize those if we are to find any happiness other than the destructive binge.

The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
