One thought some may be missing is that tolerating others and keeping politics in the background so that all will feel they can participate does not require acceptance of the theories or actions of individuals or groups. I object to coming to events and hearing political manefestos before I can hear the music for which I came. Yes songs are historically sung at political rallies. I do not attend political rallies. That is why when I go to hear folk music I don't want some lecture on politics other than as a backgrounder for the history of the song. I think putting politics in the background will help bring more people in and if the audience does also refrain from the political rally mentality we can broaden the audience for folk music as a whole rather than turning anyone off with political manefestos that are often given the stage.
