They really do it to further their own power base and what you say will be processed with the goal of furthering their own power in mind. If you feel like you have to engage, do it on your own terms in a place that you can control and go after the middle, the people who don't care as much, who are less agenda driven or who would be willing to listen. That group is the group that will eventually be able to tell the extremist to give it a rest.
