The link itself offers a good first step: Stallman himself should be encouraged to step down, and if he doesn’t the FSF should remove him from its board.
Furthermore we should be backing up both things and, in their failure, backing up a competing entity.
This should be done in a subtle way, though - without causing unnecessary drama. I know, easier said than done.
A silver lining on everything here is that his saner views are likely to be backed up by other people in the libre software movement.

And that’s extremely shitty because it stains all his views over freedom of speech and libre software, even the sensible ones.

This is more actionable than pretending he died in 2006.
