>If one's beliefs align with those who wish to strip civil rights from citizens who are different than one's own, then one is an asshole and doesn't deserve the time of day.

Who are you talking about here? This isn't even half of voting Americans, who probably represent about 20-25% of the American population. Your argument is analogous to saying that all men are rapists, because many men have committed an act of sexual harassment. It's so shockingly Manichean that it wouldn't pass a middle-school composition assigment.
