I agree with the sentiment of this post, but I'm still in two mind's about not tiptoeing around such people. For one, yes, not being up front about your opinions only enables them and puts you in a position where you'll have to put up with this facade for a very long time. It also results in them believing that no one disagrees with them, and living in such a fantasy land is just harmful.
But on the other hand, you gotta ask yourself if it's YOUR responsibility to change such people and how mentally equipped you are to handle them in the initial tantrum phase at least. For me, personally, I can live just fine with pretending to agree with some people because I usually don't have the motivation to engage with further emotional reactions which are bound to happen.
