Ideally, the best thing to do is to introduce them to the idea, and immediately afterwards, demonstrate why the idea is preposterous:
I had a fascination with far right thought when I was younger (not as a believer, more as another horrible thing to be morbidly curious about) and I think knowing many of these arguments and why they were bullshit helped inoculate me against it when it finally started to become mainstream.
As for how to reach them when they start believing in it, I honestly don’t know, especially since you can’t logic someone out of a position they didn’t logic themselves into.
