So, I have to ask...at any point have you been threatened or assaulted for being who you are? Are you subjected to hateful, threatening online harassment if you dare state a leftist/progressive opinion online? Have you ever had your home, car, or place of worship vandalized or targeted by a mass shooter?

You live in world of privilege that most non-white, non-male, non-straight people in the US do not. For the past four years, violent, right-wing extremists have been attacking and killing people at an ever higher rate, so much so that our federal law enforcement says they are the #1 national security threat. So please stop with the patronizing "it's really the same everywhere" BS.
