S'alright. There's a certain charm to your demanding unreasonableness.
I suppose that one thing is that you come across views that you initially find extreme or repellent, but then become normalised to as you continue to be exposed to them. Eventually, it's very hard to remember the strong reaction that you first had.
Another thing is that you discover someone who espouses extreme views who you find hard to dismiss--they're really smart maybe, or you just have some kind of affinity with them. Then that human connection can open you up and enable you to see them in their proper context, as rational and thoughtful and not just the ideology of them enemy.
