Honest question. How can those of us who want to cut it out influence those who want to let it keep growing?

I don't think we can. Those of us who want to cut it out come up against those who encourage it to fester and grow.

Vote.

But the other thing you can do is make sure you make an intelligent and valid comment when the occasion arises.

My parents always said ... if you don't say anything, some people don't even think about the ramifications. The message I grew up with is that you don't need to get into arguments with others, just make a comment and then let others do the thinking for themselves. They have to arrive at the mindset all by themselves, otherwise their mindset wont change.

Eg:
Their comment: "Why are they going after trump? Political!!"
My comment: "Because he has broken the law multiple times, and we (you) don't need the embarrassment and uncertainty of a president who is not adverse to breaking the law when it suits him/her. Trust is important."

Sure, you might not get through to the (minority) of die hard, loud, and irrational thinkers. And you might not be addressing the big issues. But you will give the more rational people something to think about.

I was in CA for 2 weeks recently (family holiday). Nobody speaks about trump's antics. We felt we had to whisper if we spoke about them.
I think many there quietly mull over in their minds what is going on. If you are respected among your associates, throw out a rational comment now and again (at appropriate times) to give them food for thought. Don't be afraid to do that. It is the small and respected voices that can make a big impact.

Giuliani’s Drinking Has Trump Prosecutors’ Attention in Federal Election Case - The New York Times

Their entwined legal peril has turned a matter long whispered about by former City Hall aides, White House advisers and political socialites into an investigative subplot in an unprecedented case.

The office of the special counsel, Jack Smith, has questioned witnesses about Mr. Giuliani’s alcohol consumption as he was advising Mr. Trump, including on election night, according to a person familiar with the matter. Mr. Smith’s investigators have also asked about Mr. Trump’s level of awareness of his lawyer’s drinking as they worked to overturn the election and prevent Joseph R. Biden Jr. from being certified as the 2020 winner at almost any cost. (A spokesman for the special counsel declined to comment.)

The answers to those prompts could complicate any efforts by Mr. Trump’s team to lean on a so-called advice-of-counsel defense, a strategy that could portray him as a client merely taking professional cues from his lawyers. If such guidance came from someone whom Mr. Trump knew to be compromised by alcohol, especially when many others told Mr. Trump definitively that he had lost, his argument could weaken.

In interviews and in testimony to Congress, several people at the White House on election night — the evening when Mr. Giuliani urged Mr. Trump to declare victory despite the results — have said that the former mayor appeared to be drunk, slurring and carrying an odor of alcohol.

“The mayor was definitely intoxicated,” Jason Miller, a top Trump adviser and a veteran of Mr. Giuliani’s 2008 presidential campaign, told the congressional committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol in a deposition early last year. “But I do not know his level of intoxication when he spoke with the president.” (Mr. Giuliani furiously denied this account and condemned Mr. Miller, who had spoken glowingly of him in public, in vicious terms.)
