If you really can't find reasonable people who identify as liberal then I fear the problem is with you.

Not everybody who's somewhat left leaning is also a woke fundamentalist.

I mean, you're talking casually about mass murdering gay people, how can you be surprised that some people feel threatened by that?

Good one, thanks. It conflicts a bit with the "assume good faith" guideline and sometimes I find it hard to figure which side should win.

(Note: in hindsight of course a comment that suggests mass murdering people is a troll post and not written in good faith, I'm not sure what I was thinking. I'm not debating that, just saying that it's hard and appreciate the nudges)
