    Never said they all want to murder me, you just conveniently left that part out so you could argue against a position I didn’t take.

    The ones that do want to murder me don’t deserve the same treatment as those who do. I’d recommend reading eg https://medium.com/extra-extra/tolerance-is-not-a-moral-precept-1af7007d637.

    As for moving, I’m absolutely not about to allow right-wingers to control my life to that extent that I’d move to some other country.

        Don’t be disingenuous, why are you purposefully leaving a part out of that quote that you have to know changes the meaning?

        a nontrivial percentage of conservatives literally want to murder me

        See? Does that say “all”? Why are you going out of your way to make it seem like I said something I didn’t?

          I’m not, and I’m not. Here’s your original quote that I quoted and that I replied to…

          conservatives literally want to murder me

          I doubt the majority of conservatives would want to literally murder you.

          There are always a few crazies on either end that we all have to deal with.

          I never said “all” either, please don’t put words in my mouth or create strawman.

          The overall conversation was about the majority of them, and even on my last quote when I requoted what you said, it wasn’t to insinuate all, but just the majority.

          The point I was trying to make is that there’s just a few extremists on either end, and that the majority of them wouldn’t do what you described.

          Anyway, I’m not willing to go back and forth on this any further, it seems like we’ll have to agree to disagree, and move on.
