So...I employed a little hyperbole to point out the ridiculousness of the over re-action. So...of course...the response was to further raise the minor issue at hand into some grander philosophical/politcal issue to justify their original freak out. Some people just have zero self awareness & are very very upset...about everything, all the time.
What "type" are you talking about? It's not just conservatives who get concerned about issues such as the resurgence of socialism talk. (It's hard to believe people actually believe in this nonsense.)

Anyway, try talking to a good liberal about the fictions of manmade climate change, wealth inequality, white privilege, etc. You want to see anger and freaking out!
