First of all, they're wrong.

I do have some sympathy for the ones who are honest dupes. But they're wrong and they're doing immense harm to the country. And there is a damn limit. And I don't know how many of them really are honest dupes - I don't think very many. If they feel that he's representing their interest, their morality, their fears and dreams - I have to think that is, in some part, a statement on the nature of their conceptions of morality, and their interests, and their fears and dreams. And I think it's very damn insulting, and wrong, that you think you have to have an advanced education, or what have you, to see that both Trump and his principles are wrong. It's not a damn secret.

The problem is that, as gentle as you can be, you end up coming up against the same bedrock reality: the underlying worldview and ideology. Treating people gently - I mean, damn it, we do have to have some gentleness, but you have to square that against that fact, and against the deeply-entrenched racism and classism and selfishness and crassness and misogyny that animates Trump and that is responsible for his popularity. And they're not children, they're adults. Rational, reasoning citizens, who have endorsed these beliefs of their own free will.

Hell and all if I know the answer, but I don't think that refusing to face up to the reality, or criticize people's beliefs where they're wrong, is the way forward.
