Right now, in this era, with this Republican party? Yes, yes it does. ;)
It's obvious half the country has questionable morals (or at least values or sense). A little under half the voters elected Donald Trump president.

It's a modern analog of a European explorer viewing native Africans as savages because they don't have the same culture and values that you do.
I became a liberal today because liberals took the time to have civil conversations me about my intolerance, and I realized that liberals were right. I am grateful to the people who did that for me, and I want to extend the same courtesy to others.
Pragmatically, if liberals had ostracized me or "canceled" me, it's quite likely that I would still hold those intolerant views today. By taking the stance that "we don't talk to Republicans", liberals are cutting off the only mechanism by which Republicans become liberals. And those people who you alienate instead of converting become angry, and that anger motivates them to go to the polls. Do you want Trump to get re-elected? Because what you're doing is contributing to Trump getting re-elected.
My guess is that ~80% of the US believes that this is true.
Just because someone disagrees with you or has different priorities or ideals doesn't make them bad people. If anything, this says more about you than it does about them.
