For example, I will not listen to appeals to the supposed sanity and rationality of the NRA bosses. So, might as well move on to something I might listen to, or at least read. So it is with red folk and what goes against their ideologies.

Sometimes I go with the secondary objective, which is just to illustrate how extreme partisans will sometimes not listen to anything that conflicts with their world view.  You make a wonderful illustration, and at least will admit it at times.  Many a partisan would rather go into insult or silence mode than admit their perspective flawed.  Getting other extreme partisans to watch their own commitment to the extremes isn't easy, but they might hopefully begin to wonder.
