I would. And I am, though perhaps somewhat less. This sort of thing is happening not only in US. But I still think it's important to stay calm and rational. Exaggeration detracts from the statements you are making. There's still a lot of undecided or easily swayed people, but if we seem unreasonable, they won't listen. Even I cringed at the hyperbole, despite agreeing with you. (I assume you were that BP.) People who are undecided would react even more negatively.

I repeat again: I am not denying that it's happening, because it is. There's a *scary* amount of extremists talking about killing minorities, especially LGBT people.
I am not denying the fact that these bigots are mostly right-wing. And I'm not saying that there's only a few of them. There's way too much.
The only thing that I was saying is that accusing allpeople wrighot-wing aore even *just right-leaning* rightpeople of doing this, is wrong. It's like accusing all even slightly left-leaning people of being TERFs just because some of them are. Or accusing all Ukrainians of being neo-Nazis just because some of them are.
