Perhaps the difference is that I spent a few years studying history in grad school... I'm not saying that "latinx" is analogous to abolition, but that during abolition there were also behaviours analogous to "latinx" that conservatives used to ridicule abolitionists with.

Do you have any examples?
This cartoon, ridiculed abolitionists as espousing all sorts of radical ideas that just sow discord (you can search for more ridicule the men in the picture were subjected to): https://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/2008661525/
Or this one, "I'm not to blame for being white!": https://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/2008661643/
Or another one, also ridiculing "free love" and criminalisation of tobacco, and other positions held by abolitionists Republicans: https://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/2003656588/
