The only way to help these kind of people is by reactivating their critical thinking. This is only possible if you tell them something that is so absurd, that even they have to reject it. For example: „Trump is Putins father.“ „Kennedy was killed by aliens, because he wanted to land on the moon.“ „We live on the inside of a hollow world with the sun in the middle.“ „The mothership will come soon and send all humans with a chip inside their brain to Beteigeuze.“ At some point they start rejecting your outlandish ideas, because their brain simply can‘t stand that nonsense. And this is the first step in the right direction for these kind of people.
