For a single topic, maybe. For a bunch of minor topics even. Most people are gonna have political disagreements at some level. But when it's major issues that are founded from fundamental disagreements, then it's a little harder to just go "well, we have a slight difference of opinion", because it's not a slight difference, it's a fundamental difference.
This doesn't change by ignoring the problem. Ignoring the problem is how we got here. Stop trying to play by the rules they never played by at any point.
I'll give an example since a lot seem to have come to the conclusion I watch and support everything unless they are criminals
I watch SFO and Shoeonhead's main channel (when she posts) still despite some major disagreements i have with some of their positions. Why? Because for SFO it allows me to refine my opinions knowing the mentality of opponents or those that just aren't as far on the conservative scale. He doesn't go outright calling me evil for the disagreements (though gets into play fights with chat a lot) and so is useful to not be stuck in one way of thinking
Shoe is similar but because she's more on the left is even more useful to understand opponents way of thinking. A big plus is her huge hatred of pedophiles, she's actually very useful finding pedos on the left like with the recent fashion company one as let's be honest, the right swore off the fashion industry LONG ago so it might have been missed if we only relied on right leaning creators.
Point is this, because of their differences yet they don't target their audiences or let it fully bleed into their work, they are useful assets to develop opinions. As soon as they pass a threshold of when it does become full on attacks then they are no longer useful as an asset.
Besides I've been more attacked by the right leaning content creators for my love of Anime than my political opinions by some of my slightly left leaning content creators. The right unfortunately despite having nowhere near the power of the left has probably wasted opportunities for more allies of convenience due to this purity test.
