The GOP is a hate group and should be treated as such

Let's not forget that there are members of it advocating for literal concentration camps

I'm sure every straight teacher that mentions their husband/wife will be severely punished...

They never apply the rules unilaterally, only ever towards minorities

And he's saying that to combat the spread of the monkeypox virus, he wants all LGBT people of all ages rounded up in isolation camps

Having a legitimate doubt about your understanding of the meaning of genocide isnt trolling in the least, nor even ill-intent, given how you so liberally tend to apply it to the wrong context.

The average Republican supporter hates being called a bigot, but still continue to support these fascists when hateful crap like this is all they do.

They are using the word accurately

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genocide

New conceptions require new terms. By "genocide" we mean the destruction of a nation or of an ethnic group. This new word, coined by the author to denote an old practice in its modern development, is made from the ancient Greek word genos (race, tribe) and the Latin cide(killing), thus corresponding in its formation to such words as tyrannicide, homicide, infanticide, etc. Generally speaking, genocide does not necessarily mean the immediate destruction of a nation, except when accomplished by mass killings of all members of a nation. It is intended rather to signify a coordinated plan of different actions aiming at the destruction of essential foundations of the life of national groups, with the aim of annihilating the groups themselves. The objectives of such a plan would be disintegration of the political and social institutions, of culture, language, national feelings, religion, and the economic existence of national groups, and the destruction of the personal security, liberty, health, dignity, and even the lives of the individuals belonging to such groups. Genocide is directed against the national group as an entity, and the actions involved are directed against individuals, not in their individual capacity, but as members of the national group.

I remember years ago in some video, a Republican wearing a confederate flag hat was saying something like "I'm not a racist because I don't say it (the N word) with any hate in my heart" and that really embodies everything wrong. They think they aren't hateful so that makes it okay and they'll yell at you if you say that it's a hurtful thing they're doing.

Do you grasp the meaning of it?

What you think nazis took over and day 1 they started with the gas chambers?

Or was it more like a decade long process that started by stripping away the rights of the targeted group over and over again?
