Some people need to be persuaded, with logic and reason. Initial stances and thoughts need to be followed and understood for that by you. That is what it means to acknowledge and value an opinion.
Help on how to bring up a topic for discussion.

You’re ridiculed for being immovable. Accept that not everyone agrees with your opinions and stop insulting those who don’t agree with you. It’s just that simple.
It's not that your opinion is not liked or not wanted, it's that you act like a total asshole about it. You constantly demean and condescend to people who disagree with you. What's even more frustrating than that, is that you refuse to even examine the other perspective. Do you think no one else here has friends or family with opposing political beliefs? It's not the most important thing in a relationship to agree on every political stance. You are the one who constantly draws a line in the sand. In the post I'm quoting right now you leave absolutely no space for discussion. You see yourself as right and those who disagree are wrong. You think your opinion is the one that will save the world. Try being more moderate because you come off like a fanatic.
So here's to you learning how to pretend to not waste everyone's time here. You haven't even shown a willingness to try to be open to others in this thread. You of course, are just the reviled prophet here to spread the good word.

I'm sure that after being insulted myself the statements I make in response probably feel like insults when they are only highlighting the truth.

The truth here is you are blissfully unaware of how deaf you are to new information.
When someone says "Sure this person did this, but that doesn't mean anything," that's what you call cognitive dissonance.

1) Check forum rules
2) See if it violates specific rules such as the ones related to pushing a political agenda and/or ad hominem attacks and button pushing.
3) If the answers include “Yes” or Yes but what about.....” don’t post it.
So a medical journal says everybody who is liberal is psychotic. While in itself the topic may be debatable, from the outset you are placing anyone who aligns with liberals on the low ground requiring them to fight an uphill battle to meet you in the middle. I wonder if you’ve made any similar negative threads about liberals before which would establish a theme of an anti-liberal political agenda? Hm? As such it gets increasingly harder to believe— or to dispense with dancing around it, you love trolling liberals and like to bask in their shock or outrage.
There’s nothing to win or defend here. Infjf is not some vital battleground that will determine the future of the country and it’s annoying when people treat it as such or use that as an excuse for the real goal of just getting the last word in. Additionally there is definitely no magic combination of words that will miraculously solve the issue while keeping one’s heels dug in i.e. knowing that some day you can get them to see that you’re “right”.

Can I get a hallelujah?!
I don't believe every liberal is psychotic, but the three most liberal people I've ever met were all cluster b, and one of them was schizophrenic
Well first you'd need to post the link to the article. Then add your own critical thinking to the post. Last take the time to back up your ideas instead of alluding to past posts (which are never linked to, btw). And stop making excuses as to why you refuse to reinforce your ideas.
I hate that you made me agree with the, even though I was the one to say most of it first.

Respect is incredibly important to me. No matter what the situation or setting, I treat everyone I meet with respect. I do recognize and value and appreciate that you are your person with your own experience. I want to hear your story because it helps me understand who you and where you have been. I want to know what brought to your knees and your greatest joys. It doesn't bother for people to disagree or argue. I don't feel there is any reward in winning an argument or being right. I think having a discussion of different opinions is absolutely healthy because it challenges us to look what we and why we believe those things. The challenge is to do that respectfully.
