All it would take is to (i) inform everyone of Bannon's apocalyptic craziness, (ii) talk to white nationalists if possible and explain the clear cut vision of the next 1T and (iii) reach high profile Trump supporters like Scott Adams (Dilbert) via twitter etc. and explain how the Trump presidency is likely to go off the rails (global financial crisis, actual WW III etc.).
Even if your assumption is true, and I don't think it is, I still think informing isn't enough. Convincing would be required. And as you can see there are so many diverse viewpoints around that I'm pretty sure that's not achievable at any kind of mass scale.
Ultimately I believe that the reason the 4T happens is due to an increasing sense of urgency; that things are so bad that we must do something, anything ... but the status quo is not an option. And that seems to be where we are. Awareness of the cycles wouldn't change that.
