Is it hate speech (if it's directed at Trump supporters?)

So, a user posted an article reporting the death of a die-hard Trump supporter, raising the question of whether he was targeted because of his political views—as if Trump supporters are some kind of endangered species in America...
My response was essentially along the lines of: "One less idiot, what's the issue?"

While my reply wasn't exactly classy or morally upright, it accurately reflects how I feel about people holding that specific set of beliefs. Look, I despise those who back Trump, and I have plenty of good reasons for it. I’m not calling for violence; I just don't have any respect for them.

Hate speech is defined as "any call for national, racial, or religious hatred that incites discrimination, hostility, or violence," and what I said doesn't meet those criteria.

I expected maybe a few points docked or a warning, but a 500-point penalty? I didn't earn that.

Hate speech is defined as "incitement of national, racial, or religious hatred that encourages discrimination, hostility, or violence," and what I said doesn't meet that threshold.

You answered your own question regarding the penalty and the ban.

Every single entry that gets filed away might be inappropriate, but obviously, they don't all earn 500 points. Why on earth would you think what I said is worth 500 points?

Since Cuca seems to think nobody needs to be held accountable for anything, maybe another mod can weigh in here: did I actually earn these 500 points, or what?
