So… too much like the (so-called) “conservatives” and Trump supporters, then?

It might traumatize their tender authoritarian feelings if we seem to act *just a little bit* like they do? And we might alienate them if our tone sort-of, kind-of, approaches their own?

I don’t think so. In internet slang that’s called “concern trolling”.

That ship has sailed. In their minds, that’s precisely, and sometimes even explicitly, precisely the kind of reasonable, nuanced (ie. mealy-mouthed), touchy-feely, careful, soft-headed, *liberal* -minded consideration that gave them Just Cause to be so resentful and angry at the “others” in the first place.
