Well, the first steps have to be taken by them. They need to learn to come down from comic-book-villain rhetoric. There can be no accommodation made with "I hope to see your family raped and killed".
I submit that the incentive to offer is that as long as they keep being insane they will not be allowed at the levers of power.
If they can hide them well enough to behave like actual people instead of fanatical psychopaths they can be bargained with, if, once they revert to type, they're ejected from whatever positions of power they hold.
You can be as much of an arsehole as you want in your internal monologue, I don't care, as long as you provide a response to stimuli that's within civilised bounds.
That's pretty much what the country allowed the Weather Underground and other communist organizations to do a few decades ago and look how that has turned out. Once they get into positions of power, especially at places like universities, it's nearly impossible to get rid of them.
That just pushes them to become more subtle and make sure they are never caught. They aren't going to stop wanting this, only find ways to get it while avoiding consequence.
There is a reason alcoholics are XX days sober, even decades later. Because they are never "free" only contained. And how many horror stories are about those relapsing turning into masterminds to hide it from their family?
"It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead."
Everyone thinks that. The thugs who were smashing stores and burning down cities on Kristallnacht also thought that they were the good guys, as were the Bolshevik thugs who confiscated the last bits of grain from starving peasants.
I always understood the 2nd Amendment to help prevent tyranny, but it's also shown me that it will protect against government weakness to anachro-tyranny.
If the government will bend it's will to any given mob, your better be armed.
How on earth can you put things back together when this is the kind of creature we are dealing with?

"It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead."
Is that a genuine inquiry or rhetorical? Because the actual answer isn't something most of us could stomach.
"Do not forget that these people want you broke, dead, your kids raped and brainwashed, and they think it's funny." --Sam Hyde
This needs to be modified.
"- and not only do they think it's funny, they think they're the good guys for it."
Very true.
Everyone thinks that. The thugs who were smashing stores and burning down cities on Kristallnacht also thought that they were the good guys, as were the Bolshevik thugs who confiscated the last bits of grain from starving peasants.
They want you broke, homeless, your wife dead, your children raped, and they think it's funny... proven categorically true again.
That was the most insane thing I'd ever heard, once upon a time. Now it's practically my guiding star.
Fuckin' crazy, right?
I am pretty sure that once upon a time, it was satire.
But as with so many things, it has a habit of coming true.
I now have a somewhat better understanding of why you 'Murricans want to keep your guns.
I always understood the 2nd Amendment to help prevent tyranny, but it's also shown me that it will protect against government weakness to anachro-tyranny.

And the same cops will stand back when you're attacked but intervene and arrest you the moment you defend yourself.
Sorry but my pity well is truly empty.
Another Biden/Harris voter whose going to restore the soul of our nation.
Police are on their side. Let them fight.
Exactly, it's a gang war.
The police were the last group to stay loyal to the Romanovs. We need to cultivate them.
Fucking wow.
NYPD are doing themselves no favors.
It's them fantasizing about being sexually desirable in any capacity whatsoever.
Those are animals, not people.
That is true and quite unfortunate.
I hate this meme and wish people would stop repeating it.
History books are not memes.
Take a look at any fat whale on Tinder. She'll still have more matches than you or I.
