At some point the contradiction is so flagrant that the typical "we're all individuals here" dismissal no longer suffices.
Like if you showed up on a homeschooling moms facebook group and half the moms are spewing religious mumbo jumbo and the other half are spewing trans rights stuff it immediately begs the question how the heck are these groups coexisting without fighting at every turn without massive cognitive dissonance or not actually believing what they're saying. Same thing here with immigration, among other things (wouldn't have been my first pick of an issue to highlight the dissonance but here we are).
This is not a homeschooling mothers' Facebook group though. There is absolutely no requirement for people here to agree, and/because the place will not fall apart if they don't - as you can see from its continued existence.
