Been thinking about this a lot myself. In doing so, the following prayer came to mind as both timely and relevant. I think this provides us with a great framework for how to navigate these unchartered waters by approaching all future interactions from a place of love. It's also provided me with some semblance of peace in all this chaos. Evil is the disease and love is the answer!
*Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.*
I'd say to encourage such people to find out such information on their own. Ask a question. Point them to a couple alternative resources to start. Warn them of the inherent biases of any source of information, and send them on their way to their own enlightenment.
True. They will come around but very very slowly. Criticize their new and current behaviour, such as new rioting, cursing Trump, repeating lies, defending pedos. Asking people to admit they were wrong all along will not work.

Be kind! Treat others how you would want to be treated
