It's like asking people to please stop treating my wife rudely.
No it isn't! It's like walking up to a total stranger on the street who is chewing gum, and asking them to stop, because the noise annoys you. You are speaking against strangers who are doing nothing to you, but the thing they're doing triggers an emotional response in you. It is you who are now being rude by saying things to strangers to control their otherwise self-contained behavior. Get control of your feelings, Luke!
If they were being rude to your wife, you'd have a right to say something, establish physical limits, etc. But that's not the case here. And this seems to be a recurring Republican theme - controlling the others' behavior that has absolutely no effect on community, individuals, nation, etc.
