We do not need to reach across the aisle and try to convince the racists not to vote for Trump. We do not need to permit them their excesses as long as they consider the information you provide them and think about change. These behaviors are unacceptable, including voting for Trump, and society should make that known.
Those 12% that "regret" what they did most likely only regret letting someone else know they voted for Trump. The vast majority of Trump supporters will continue supporting him because of their hatefulness towards some segment of the population. In order to stop supporting him, they would have to recognize that they are hate mongers and try to change. They will not do that.
Trump being elected is in direct response to two factors. Two terms of a black PotUS followed by a woman winning a major party primary.
My last point I will make is that when you do encounter Trump supporters who invariable explain their support as something other being racist/sexist/etc., they are lying. You choosing to believe them is what makes you think any of them listen to what you have to say and consider it in a serious manner.
