Take this as my personal possibly wrong opinion, but this kind hyperbolic phrasing is only going to hurt your cause.

The same as people defending "punch a nazi" slogans.

They will give your tribe influence, but also steadily decrease your chance at long term victory.

Honestly I cannot understand how many people (I don't care about sides) can believe in progress via violence, promoting violence, or extreme polarization.

I cannot change your minds, but sure I hope it were easier to have a moderate to moderate conversation.
