The only reason I hesitate is because it’s a lot more nuanced than labels. Many different people exist in the party with different degrees of extremism and hatred.
To group them all under the same label would probably cause the less extreme individuals to become more extreme (‘caveman effect’) where to them, it feels like a personal attack so they support the people that don’t attack them (republicans).
I’m not trying to excuse or pander to them, I’m trying to be logical and not worsen the wound. Though at this point everyone’s so filled with hatred and the whole stupid ‘left vs right’ situation is getting out of hand. If people realised it was more complex and didn’t force each other into boxes we’d have a more varied dialogue.
Edit; okay, I think I stand corrected. My arguments hold firm in an ideal situation where everyone can self correct, but I guess that’s not the world me live in and there will be polarisation no matter what, so the best I can do is support the side that doesn’t want to kill trans people

Is it? If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's probably a duckin nazi.
