Why do people not understand that you can agree with one thing someone said or did while disagreeing with the majority of what they stand for?

An example is that I generally despise Jordan Peterson and most of what he says, but I often quote one thing that Jordan Peterson said (in the linked video) because I think it's a good summary of why toxic positivity doesn't work.
People (who hate JP) freak out when I quote him and say "Why tf are you quoting Jordan Peterson? Are you a insert thing that Jordan Peterson is?" And I'm like "No, I generally disagree with him on most points, aside from this one thing." But they don't believe or accept it and assume that I must be a #1 Jordan Peterson fan or something.
I think it can be considered a partial agreement, majority disagreement. Or a partial agreement with a person you generally disagree with. But I'd be open to other terms of how to describe this in a way people can understand.
Also, to avoid the controversy of referencing Jordan Peterson, if anyone has a better summary of the same concept explained by a different person in a way as well as he does, that would be appreciated too.

Because then you get Trump as president if you believe he is a fascist wannabe dictator. People who "agree with his policy" despite this piss me off cause even though American politics is a shitshow, there was probably someone with more decorum to do the job.
Same goes for the list someone said above: Shapiro, Candace Owens, Andrew tate.
