The first step is to think about values. Too many people are going out of their way to avoid having to ask these questions, or to avoid openly endorsing any principle that might be controversial (including fundamental humanistic values that until recently were widely accepted).

A little bit of controversy is acceptable. It is often through debate and controversy that we end up defining more clearly where we stand and what we believe in. Controversy also forces us to periodically reconsider our values -- and that's good; values are not dogma.

Your last line is golden. It's the dogmatic part that's causing issues. People unwilling to change despite the evidence. This has been around for a long time, 2018 is not a special year, unless I am missing something. What is new is the "your fact is same as my opinion" attitude.
