I think the idea is to apply &quot;depolarization&quot; generally, rather than specifically. You call out two specific issues; it&#x27;s fine to not get on with people who have different (and strong) opinions on those positions, but it&#x27;s entirely different to label an entire broad category of people (&quot;conservatives&quot; or &quot;liberals&quot; in the context of the article) as Evil and Not Worth My Time.
