The OP is talking about extreme views like racism (or in their case hating trans people).
You are talking about listening to Democrat opinions.
Very very different thing.
I am quite happy to be friends with people with different political opinions or who vote for another party.
I am also happy to know who is spouting racist, sexist or crazy drivel. This allows me personally to avoid them.
Others may choose to engage with the extremists I choose not to waste my time. This is a matter for individual free will.
NB once again listening to Democrat/republican media when you are voting for the other party is just normal and has nothing to do with choosing not to associate with e.g Klansman.
