Tell them that they brought their predicament on themselves. A monster was growing in their party for decades, a monster that call Americans that disagreed with it's politics unamerican and worse. And they did nothing but go along with that. The monster set out to take away a woman's right to make decisions about her body and career, and they did nothing but go along with it.

Now the monster does not need their help, they are lucky that they were not eaten as they finally parted ways with it.
