The modern, mental breakdown so pervasively exhibited in these modern times of ours is seeing entire groups who automatically translate your disagreement with them into hatred of them.
The massive amount of terrain that exists between disagreement and hatred remains ignored by those who want only one thing as an expression of love and/or respect for them, and that is affirmation offered by you, no matter how much it may violate your personal sensibilities...as long as you don't violate their sensibilities by daring to disagree with them concerning value statements, as they absolutely reject any suggestions for absolutes that are beyond their control. Within the microcosm of their inner world, absolutes are an uncanny thing that they see as a vastly uncomfortable reality they prefer to ignore and deny at all costs...even to that of their own integrity.
All of this to say that, dare you challenge them with the most eloquent, nicest and loving of approaches, you will never be able to avoid them acting out offence, be it ever so contrived and intellectually dishonest on their part, any deviation away from complete affirmation of their inner belief system, and your are anathema in every respect.
