One of the unloveliest and least enlightening aspects of contemporary discourse is the tendency to presume that whatever one disagrees with must be very simple—not only simple, but also simply wrong; not only wrong, but also false, argued in bad faith, not even believed in the hearts of its own advocates. But life is arranged in far more intricate detail than that line of presumption would allow. People really do hold complicated, challenging beliefs. Misguided views really do contain, at times, occasional threads of worthwhile truth. Good and evil really are intertwined in this world, and we really do have to deal with that, somehow.
