You don't. You make them defend why it's divisive and why it's a political statement.

You don't engage them. Make them engage you.

    Same way you deal with racist/sexist jokes. Make them explain what's funny.

    Or in the case of the pride flag, make them explain why it's a bad thing? Which is when they'll say it's being forced upon them, and the woke agenda is pushed down everyone's throat and whatever.

    Which is also very hard to defend against... That is, I myself find it difficult to find something to say.
