The comments on that blog post are examples of the problem. They're diving straight into disagreements about matters of fact (like whether a party cheated in a particular election, and whether both sides cheat).
The point is that we're not (no longer) disagreeing about values, but about the facts, and that authoritarians are deliberately attempting to muddy the waters here. They're clearly succeeding, and the commenters seem to be distracted from that.
