I love this post. I love reasonable people too (like you and most of the commenters here). And, you're right: we cannot keep avoiding political posts and saying that I'm not the type to wear politics on my sleeve or whatever else-- the more reasonable rational people who aren't on the extremes stay out of the conversation, the more extremists dominate the conversation and the more alienated the people in the middle feel. The system has perpetuated itself long enough. It's time to talk about it, and stop letting the shouting extremists be heard over everybody else.
