I think the same. Besides the thing that it is always a good idea to not dehumanize people with diverging political opinions, let it alone be to understand the thoughts behind political decisions you do not agree with. And you learn a good deal about propaganda.
That said, before somebody misunderstands me: we have to beware to give smart, strategically manipulating populists a platform for their propaganda. E.g. German media, for some reason, decided that it would be a good idea to give a lot of space and television to actual fascists and listen to their racist garbage without even fact-checking their lies.
