I am trans and bisexual.
- Then you would be inviting an enemy into your home who would delight in your death. This may not have the wonderful outcome you would hope for. The risk outweighs the reward in my opinion.
  You are one of the kind-hearted people who conservatives want to exterminate. No matter how kind you are to them, they will only see your kindness as weakness. That is the conservative way.
  
  An us vs them mentality is still bad even when you do it. There are so many examples of people changing opinions of hateful people by showing them some kindness. Yes it would be very easy to pain every MAGA as a terrible person down to their core, call them the enemy and forsake them, but things will only get worse with that attitude.
  But if instead you show these people kindness, especially if they are vulnerable, some of them will change, and even if its only 1 in 10, you're still making the word better by helping people come out of their hateful mentality.
- Well then I hope you live alone and wouldn't be endangering others with your naivety
  
  I hope whatever causes your hostile attitude eventually goes away and allows your kindness to return.
  
  Sometimes people need to hear a tough truth. You are putting yourself and others (if you don't live alone I guess) in danger. These people murder people like you.
  If it's just you, then have at it. Godspeed.
  
  I would suggest putting the phone down for a little while and going out in to the real world for a bit to re-adjust.
  and sidenote, if someone said the same about muslims, pointing out how many muslims murder LGBT people and how if you let a muslim into your home you would be putting family in danger would you accept that?
