They already admit that you were right and they were dumb by even approaching the subject. Like if you have a friend who's got a mental health problem but won't admit it. For years you've been telling them they need therapy and they brush it off, all the while they are destructive to themselves and the people around them. If that person ever comes to a trusted person and says "I think I need help" the move is not to go off about hw you've been saying that for years and point to all the destruction they've caused. It's to be empathetic and welcome them back to the world.

As much as it would be convenient to refer to Trump voters as mentally ill...
A more appropriate analogy would be someone coming to you for help getting out of a cult. Even then, people in your run of the mill cults are only harming a very small social circle of people. Trump voters have and are indirectly causing extensive harm to millions of people, in and outside of their own country.
You've had pretty near a decade to figure out who Trump is and what he is capable of as a politician. Although I will welcome you back into the realm of the normies, I have very little sympathy if you're getting exactly what you've asked for.
