Yes, it was hyperbolic to drive the point home.
Nice that you picked up on that! Well done!
You brought up the “slippery-slope” gambit, I merely fleshed it out and gave it a voice, giving you a chance to hear how I hear you!
Also, if you took offense at that, then either report me or get a thicker skin.

You can explain it without being a jerk, do you talk to people in real life that way? Would you dare say it to my face like that? Did your parents raise you to be rude to others you don't know, just because they have different political beliefs you don't like?
If this kind of emotional response is typical, I don't think that being here is healthy for you.

Fair enough wasn't my intention to come across as Inflammatory, maybe if you could be kind to point out what was Inflammatory, so I can improve my posts.

“He still wants to close down churches permanently, something similar to The Soviet Union or North Korea, that the far-left in action.”

I'll concede a bit of hyperbole, just was in horror to the word permanent, I never seen in America the power of the state close down churches.
