A checkmark with 290k followers wants to 'eradicate' all 62 million Americans who voted for POTUS.https://twitter.com/rezaaslan/status/1158160628592209920 …

You of all people should know about the motivated reasoning that occurs when you read things from people you don't like... To readers without your priors, it is pretty obvious that Reza was referring to white nationalism as the scourge to be eradicated.

He literally called all supporters of Trump white nationalists. Ergo, roughly half of the population.

I read the tweet as well! But it is a big step from "there is a bad thing in society and many people are contributing to it" to "eliminate these people." Whereas there is a huge segment of society that says "eliminate these people" and some of them massacred ppl this week,

...and rightly, many people are wondering what can be done to stop that--and one doesn't have to look hard to find such explicit hate and genocidal language--Reza's tweet was no such thing and this quote-tweet seemed miscalibrated, so I said so.
