5. I find that telling them I'm not interested works rather nicely.

I don't need to think it's really neat that I scared or terrorized somebody I dont' like. I'm simply not offended by their divergent opinion nor by their existence. I do find it annoying that people come up to my front door and bother me, but that's true of almost everybody when you're an introvert in a world that pathologizes introversion. Lots of things are annoying. I guess that teaches tolerance.

Now, if I could just keep the idjits away who try to sell me electricity plans or vacuum cleaners or ask me to support their scholarship fund by buying magazines. Still, they're just trying to make a living.
