Two good pieces of advice: (1) Try not to be an extremist weirdo whose conduct generates counterproductive backlash (2) Try not to be someone who is irrationally backlashing against reasonable positions due to someone else's extremism — PolitiTweet.org

I always think it's weird when you see people openly describe themselves as having changed their views on things in response to someone else "on the other side" doing something unreasonable. Obviously this is a real thing that happens psychologically, but you should resist it! — PolitiTweet.org

"You say A which sounds reasonable but many of the A-affirmers also say B which is sounds unreasonable therefore not-A" is a fallacy that could be applied to anything at all. The world is unfortunately full of idiots, so all positions on all topics are held largely by idiots. — PolitiTweet.org
