So several things:
This is a juvenile and destructive bit of hyperbolic performatism and points to a clear lack of actual seriousness about the issue. If you don't care about outcomes you're on the wrong side.
I will reference what I said elsewhere but you obviously didn't read, which is that conservatism as a mindset is not coherent, it's about how they feel now. They are gaining ground because we're addressing intellectual ideas with them and they only care about what's on their mind right now, this is what I'm saying we can exploit. But it involves something that will make reactionary turds on the left pretty uncomfortable, which is acknowledging that the vast majority of conservatives are normal people. Misguided but with the same emotions and wants for themselves.
So my point is that we need to do better to appeal to the emotions they are using and figure out how to make it less about "including everyone" and more about "this is the pain you may feel next."
If this is too "kind to terrorists" for you, you obviously haven't been paying attention to how easily the underclass looking for equality can become the bad guys. Whatever happens in our country, we have to share it with them after, so I don't entertain these kinds of tones that the right is inhuman monsters. Maybe the people bankrolling the media personalities, but the people are just people and you're equally capable of losing cognitive thought and following your momentary feelings.
