We've reached the point in society where basic facts are considered political because "the other side" doesn't like them or it's destructive to their position(ex: anthropogenic climate change). It's a bit impossible to cater to those people while also remaining factual as it'd be a disservice to those who actually want to be educated when science is being censored by politics in the name of being "neutral".

So while I agree that you shouldn't frame issues as inherently political when they're purely factual, it's too late for that. Society has already decided that everything is going to be political. There's always gonna be someone who tries to muddy the waters of what constitutes "truth" by presenting baseless alternative facts and emotional appeals for the sake of protecting their political position.

The best we can do is at least be truthful and not double-down when our politics doesn't align with reality. You're not gonna convince those reactionary people but at least admitting your position is subject to change if the facts change encourages better discourse.
