Most people who support shit like this aren't monsters, but the people who systematically target out-groups for political purposes are, and I reckon that includes most of the people who actually pass legislation.

The trick is to convince people to quit putting monsters into positions of power, but it seems most people can't recognize a monster when they see one.

They're hard to recognize because they look like regular people, which is what they are. The problem with them isn't that the voters don't see them for the bigots they are; they vote for them because of the bigotry.

People seem to often severely underestimate how downright evil a huge chunk of the population is. There's no convincing them to not vote for bigots because they specifically want bigots.
