No matter how noble your goal, this is just not how politics is supposed to work in a healthy nation. At all. Quite the opposite, this is analogous to how politics worked when the Soviets killed millions and millions of their own people in order to attain a communist utopia. Do you not see that?

Do you not see that? Yes, I see that misusing government power to enforce unequal treatment for a disfavored subgroup is exactly like what the Soviets did. Now that you've steamrolled your own position more effectively than I managed to, we're done here.
