The comment is indeed flagged right now, so this intended essentially a private reply: this is just depressing. We literally just saw a clear-as-day incident of political violence in this country, and it was inspired by rhetoric just like the above: general, abstract, yet absolutist remarks that paint the commenter's (and your) enemy as worthy of death for reasons that aren't ever quite elucidated but seem extremely important nonetheless.
We need to stop that. We need to stop it everywhere. Trying to excuse it is just buying into the frame that your enemies are existential threats and not just your neighbors.

Please stop.
