It's really tricky. I've spent a fair amount of mental energy on the broader problem of incentivizing honest media and I haven't made any progress.
Even this video and the guest's book are sort of meta activist fearmongering about the problem of activist fearmongering.
I really wonder if the only thing that will wake people up is widespread violence. My concern there is that they will just double down. I'm not suggesting that violence should be started, but that it is the outcome of the path we are on and maybe that will make enough people realize this is all getting stupid.

On that note, I am sensing that the rapid rise in urban crime rates is challenging some people's long standing loyalty to the Democrats.
