I think that's wise when it comes to a lot of online discussion. But not where it involves our elected representatives.

Tuberville is a U.S. senator exercising his power to disrupt the military's smooth functioning. The military, as evidenced by Navy Secretary Del Toro's comments, sees this as a serious problem.
Because, as you point out, Alabama is safe Republican territory, this is a problem the Republicans have to solve, by pressuring Tuberville to stop, or by primarying him out of office. The rest of us can encourage the Republicans to take their responsibility seriously by making sure voters (especially swing-state and Alabama voters) recognize this anti-military Republican stance.
