I asked you to prove one example that supports this assertion of over-reaction and you refused
I told you I already left a comment and you said you would find it. Which you clearly did because you moved to that thread, but I'll copy one below.... All the Newsom ones apply too. Scroll up if you need help finding them.

I would argue his comments were not transphobic (mildly or not), but he was shouted at during his speech as well as the comments I read on Lemmy.
You and I will disagree on whether it was transphobic or not, but we'll have to agree to disagree. If you want another example, just reread our conversation 😂
I didn't call you a bigot because I think you are incapable of growing and becoming better.
Maybe reread the comment you're replying to. I didn't say anything about "incapable of growing..."
You are calling me a bigot because you don't want to listen to other people's opinions. Calling me a bigot makes it easier for you to ignore me. If I'm a bigot then you don't have to worry about the possibility that you are the one that's wrong.
Calling me a bigot makes you feel better about your own opinion while doing nothing to earn it.
Why is the ignorance of those echoing bigotry more important to you than the outrage of those targeted by it?
I think it's clear that you are going to throw out the term "Bigot" at the drop of a hat. In doing so you make the word meaningless.
I'm not going to listen to people that I consider bigots. Not every conservative is. If conservatives are making valid points and I ignore them because other conservatives are bigots, that leads to a situation where I am the unreasonable one.
