Girl, please. Some people have opposing beliefs. Is it really that shocking that users on a message board take part in discussion? 

I've modded enough forums/servers in my time to know certain behaviours are suspect. Lets see if you stick around

And what standard would that be?  I’m genuinely curious, at least from your perspective.

Not wishing death on someone and encourage other people to do so. Pretty simple imo. Doesn't relfect good on ''us'' as a community, even though the community is diverse (not reflected on here, clearly).

Well, I've never asked you to do any of that. So I still haven't seen him wish death on LGBTQIA+-people, and I genuinly don't believe he does either. That's a belief that keeps you in fear, and I wish you wouldn't feel like that.

You're almost assuredly not gonna find a quote of him saying "Death to the queer community" or anything like that, because honestly, he doesn't give a f*ck about the queer community. What he has done is enabled and empowered people who do wish to eradicate "queer ideology." And that means denying resources to queer people, suppressing their expression in public, removing their existence in any capacity they can. Now, currently, that does not include killing queer people, but they have taken steps to criminalizing queer presentation, such as with bills targeting drag and trans people. 

Trump gladly sold queer people out to face this eradication in exchange for power and money. He probably has no personal hatred towards queer people, but he would gladly see all of us dead if it meant more money in his bank account.

Well you can relax, its just an opinion.

Well, thank you. Those are fair point that I can agree with.

And, interestingly, that information was readily available before you posted!

If you're going to make an argument in a debate (which you haven't done once), its a common expecation for you to provide sources for the arguments you're making. In the real world that's not a crazy expectation, but I guess it could be in a echochamber.

I am relaxed and I'm not preventing you having an opinion.

Ain’t a debate club, sis. Also: what claim did I make that would require a citation?

I get the concern, but this is really a cause & effect issue. When a movement actively pushes hate, strips rights, and scapegoats people, the reactions are bound to be heated, even extreme. That doesn’t ‘look bad on us,’ it reflects the harm being done and why people are so fed up. The anger is valid.

Of course it's a cause and effect-issue, show me one thing in politics that isn't. But I believe that retoric is the reason behind the assasination-attempt(s), which is something that shouldn't even happen on US-soil.

Normalizing that kind of speech is not something I'd encourage in any way. Not saying you are, but there are pages on pages of people doing exactly that on here. So I feel like making it clear that there's at least one person who doesn't think that's normal. It's not.
