The really alarming thing is that he is quite likely representative of the average Democrat/leftist. They will claim they don't believe you should be persecuted or hauled off. But if/when it happens they won't give it a second thought. They will turn you in to the thought police in a heartbeat.
I don’t disagree. The left is hateful, delusional, and can justify anything to themselves if it fits with their selfish and dysfunctional world view. They love to call people ‘Nazis’, but they are oblivious to the fact that they are the real Nazis.
