Neo-nazi misogynist Andrew Anglin thinks that’s reasonable.

The Southern Baptist Conference has a long history of misogyny. One of their leaders is also fine with killing gays. Duncan Colton, Kari Lake’s campaign manager, is also cool with stoning gays to death. Heck, right-wing homophobe Steven Franssen advocates bombing Target for being too gay-friendly.

There is the freedom to exploit — to allow the owners of business and capital to weaken labor and take advantage of workers as they see fit. There is the freedom to censor — to suppress ideas that challenge and threaten the ideologies of the ruling class. And there is the freedom to menace — to carry weapons wherever you please, to brandish them in public, to turn the right of self-defense into a right to threaten other people.”
