Solid question. Suggest people change where they are getting their information and listen too other media/news and listen to both points of view to make informed decisions.
Speaking for myself, “speak to myself”. Though not dangerous or inciting, my own language is not open or welcoming to contrary views. Calling someone an idjit does not exactly encourage dialogue 🤦🏻♀️
It is very, very difficult, but when someone says something false or obtuse I try to take a couple of deep breaths and ask where the information comes from. 🙏🏻
Calling out inflammatory speech or misinformation every time we see it will not make it go away but may tone it down until sanity is reclaimed by the masses. Admittedly that will be more likely to happen when the world's largest megaphone is both silenced and ceases getting front page attention every hour.

Such a great question. Definitely food for thought.
