This is actually demonstrably false - people have successfully been reintegrated into "normal" thinking by removing corrosive media influences.
The key distinction is between people who seek out certain content and people who stumble across it passively (in a morning car commute, say). The latter can actually be de-radicalized and de-programmed much more easily, and it's a worthwhile task to do so. Trumpism is a cult, and so the deprogramming methods have to be similar to recovery from a cult (and not the typical arguments that we see on facebook and such which are completely useless & worse)
