You are right about one thing - namely, I don't see how saying "just roll your eyes at these people and ignore them" gives them "more importance than they deserve", largely because doing that would only underscore just how unimportant they really are.

You sharing how frustrating it is that Offerman concedes some imaginary ground plays just as much into the idea that there is some ideological warfare to engage in as the type of comment you’re pretending to be frustrated by.
Ignoring them isn’t worrying about what they think to the point that you get frustrated when people don’t ignore them. It’s seeing Offerman’s comment and thinking “that’s nice” and not even bothering to question who it might be to, not “well thanks for legitimizing Ben Shapiro.”
Try actually ignoring them instead of pretending you are while going on a whole rant about them and people responding to them and Tucker Carlson and Ben Shapiro or whoever.
The bigots whining about the episode are bad enough without people doing multiple-paragraph takedowns of how people respond to the bigots whining about the show.
