I tend to run into, "there's extremes on both side" even after I point out that one side destroys and the other builds.
Other favorites , "it's not communist to not be racist", or "you want people to be homeless/have no healthcare". They base their emotional appeal on the belief that if you disagree with the Government having all that power and control you automatically don't care if people suffer, even if they know or can see the sacrifices you make to help others.
When people become this willfully obtuse, I put some distance in, since they're clearly feel threatened by something other than what the pretend to care about.
"There's extremes on both sides" is a classic cop out. I know a guy who acts tough and hides behind that while saying he's Libertarian. He's a tough mofo in most cases, but I think he's a genuine pussy in that one, and I say that as someone who's voted Libertarian. Some people must be so conditioned to the way things were that they can't see that GEOTUS very clearly is something different. The visceral responses he evokes from the left on a daily basis is a clear indicator.

Even Republicans. At a BBQ talking to conservative, Republican Trump supporter, who starts sputtering about how "Trump speaks so STUPIDLY" and that Obama was a "great orator." Ever think you're not used to hearing a politician speak like a real person? I guess you prefer listening to the Manchurian Candidate read some shit Ben Rhodes wrote off a teleprompter. Made me want to throw my drink in his face.

Obama was great at lying to your face then serving his overlords behind the scenes.
