This has been posted before, but this guy is on the right track.
You have to fight bad ideas if it's something you feel strongly about. Sometimes the bad ideas are people who are just too scared to stand up against the status quo. If Islamists are a problem, it's not wrong to say so. If Trump's policies are whack, it's not a wrong to speak against them. On the other hand, if Trump happens to do something smart, people shouldn't hide behind their insecurity of what their friends might think and they should support a good idea.
If you are feeling like you are part of the problem, you need to not be afraid to stand up for your ideas.
