Yeah not being mentally ill and self hating does have a genetic component.

Mountain lions are born with a genetic tendency to want to bite through the back of my neck, killing me. I have no moral obligation to assist them in exercising their genetic tendencies. I'll try to ensure they have safe habitat, with access to their natural non-human food sources, but I won't sacrifice myself for them.
Same deal with MAGAs and Nazis. Their genetic tendencies (if any) don't give them a right to harm others. When they do so, they break the social contract that gives others a reason to tolerate their behavior, just like anyone else breaking that social contract.
There is of course A distinct difference between discrimination based on characteristics you were born with and those you appear to have chosen.
But then, you get the slippery slope of sociopath and schizophrenics who have a genetic tendency towards certain behaviors... Who's to say that MAGAs or Nazis aren't born with a genetic tendency towards that behavior?
