I feel like all i can do really is point back up at my original post. These aren't people who stand on the other side of a picket line from us, they are people who live in the same communities and social circles as we do, sometimes (not infrequently) even in relationships with us, so in this case you have two groups of people who live together and who really do need each other. In those cases it's good to ask whether it is helpful to escalate disagreement.
