Right, because telling people "they're special and nice and it's not their fault that the orange dictator is ruining the country" has historically never ever worked once.

You can point out the issue without being a dick to them.

Nobody has ever left the alt-right cult by being insulted and belittled, in fact that's how they usually get recruited in the cult.

You know? Honestly, telling them they lost their job, house and country because they joined a political cult led by a spray-tanned \wish.com hitler wannabe, isn't really the "being an asshole" thing that you think it is, and more along the lines of just telling them to truth to their faces.
