I would say it as:

"For those who understand, no explanation is necessary.
 For those who do not, none is worthwhile."

I think it's not impossible that some (more) of the opponents could be
made to understand why people might disagree with them. But I can't
imagine any even theoretically possible scenarios where this would
change their opinion, so there's no point wasting the effort.
