This could be helpful
1. Acknowledge the part that is actually true, REVEL in the mutual agreement for a bit, Maybe a couple back slaps and high fives going on. (This is the part that is very hard to do on social media btw)
then
2 Point out the bad part like it’s a tumor infecting the good whole and let them make and own the choice to excise it, themselves
Basically divide and conquer but in the realm of the ideas. At no point are they, or do they themselves feel, personally attacked.
