Everyone has the freedom to bring mostly-negativity into the world, but that doesn't mean I have to respect them for it even when it's in support of issues I completely agree with.

Precisely. You don't have to respect anyone for anything. There is no requirement anywhere. As a free person, you can choose to disrespect people even if they do things society considers commendable. You can even express this disrespect. This is fundamental to the freedom of this society.
You don't have to respect anyone for anything, but it's a hell of a lot easier and a lot more inward- and outwardly-positive than looking for disagreement everywhere.
