Those who want to hurt others who are just trying to live their lives peacefully deserve to be hurt themselves. May she get roughed up and deported by ICE.

Yes, I stripped out some very important words, but those words don't actually change the underlying problem: we are each wishing harm befall other people.
She wants people hurt; we want people hurt. We're all getting exactly what we say we want.
By all means, marvel at her stupidity and bigotry, but please stop short of becoming her.
Oh oh, lets find common ground evwee bwaaddy! Peace and love! Turn the other cheek! Fuck off if you think that works. We have been pursuing that for decades. Reconciliation requires a sincere seeking of truth. It’s not in them, and will never will be for most.
“Becoming her,” would be attacking her because of where she was born, or skin color, or religion, or sexuality. We should attack her intolerance.
I don’t care if they are now naturalized citizens. They lied on any oath of loyalty to our constitution. They deserve the ICE treatment. They are a part of the world’s population that will succumb to strong men. They are those whom have enabled and carried out genocides throughout history. I have been them. I was raised like them. I know them.
If 1/3 of the world’s population cannot abide by social contracts of tolerance, then they should destroyed.
We are not becoming like them. We have to hit the bully in the face. The difference is that many of us will be completely traumatized by what we had to do to stop the bullying. We will weep and use our emotional pain to design better institutions and futures. Will they? Fuck no they won’t.
Parent comment wasn't attacking her intolerance. Parent comment was wishing her harm.
Furthermore: "Religion" should not be a protected class.
As are you: You are wishing harm on her, not on her intolerance. This is the exact distinction I was trying to highlight.
I want her to wake up. I have heard too many accounts like hers. Those accounts are depressing, because nearly 100% of them expressed that they would still support the politicians that harmed them.
As far as religion, I’d prefer if it didn’t exist, but I will tolerate people’s delusions if they don’t cause intolerance and harm to others. It is not inherent like skin color, but it is does create classes that get targeted by intolerant classes.
At some point, we must harm the intolerant by depriving them of liberty, or life. We have been entreating and begging for them to not be this way. Our “want” to hurt them is the culmination of our frustration and understanding of what their intolerance leads to. There is no fucking paradox here. That fury that we are feeling is the natural impulse to survive or die.
