Think ... "people in cults are not crazy but are the same intelligent, creative and interesting individuals they were before. As with falling in love they are just crazy about the group, its amazing leader and its great potential to change the world and them with it" ...
... you need to "focus on why this person identifies with the group so much, and what they believe they are getting from it". Read - theconversation.com/how-to-talk-so…
However, along with creating support structures for victims of the cult, along with open dialogue ... you must also relentlessly pursue and destroy the public's opinion (especially amongst cult members) of those who led the cult.

Remember, they allowed and encouraged a cult to form, they chose to incite insurrection. The US will recover.
