You're 100% assuming motives. "Deployed", lol.
This is like saying that because we know smoking causes lung cancer, that the ONLY reason anyone smokes is because they're trying to get lung cancer.
Review Hanlon's Razor, and stop thinking there's sinister conspiracies everywhere, it's bad for your mental health.
Intent doesn't matter. I've never seen it used differently. You are welcome to disagree.
Does it actually matter at all what the intent is if the result is Trump winning and full on reducing the United States to a fascist ethnostate?
Yes. Demonizing people not because of who they are, but based on your prejudiced assumptions, is in fact bad, it turns out.
Are you trying to get people not to take you seriously? Because insane over-the-top exaggeration like this is a very strong strategy toward that end, if so.
If anything I'm under exaggerating. I'm unconcerned with bOtH sIdEs
