With "campaigners" i don't mean @wigglehard. I'm also not advocating for hate speech, if that would be the next thing to come. Instead i see a likely minority group of segregationists infesting this place with their hatred. I'm not interested in joining anyone's divisiveness, i can do better. If US people want to do their internal warfare online, then please have them do it in their exclusive space. This comes from someone who sees all people as human beings, regardless of how ill-minded they may seem.
It would help a lot if everyone would get a bit into psychology. The basic human requirements in social structures, different needs in security, differences in self-perception, and not least why do we get aggressive. All the energy you use for fighting could go into actual understanding. -- What are the opponents actual needs and fears? What are your needs and fears? Where did this originate, in which way were we traumatised, in which way were we mistreated as children? What natural social structures do we miss? Look a bit deeper and find that humans are actually inherently compassionate and good-willed.
Maybe i'm unbearably progressive with this. Take me as a prophet then. For humanity to have a future, the paradigm of separatedness will have to end.
An interesting book perhaps: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humankind:_A_Hopeful_History
