When I first encountered them, eight years ago, I was also shocked by their crazy. And I thought that if you'd just explain the truth to them, that they'd be less crazy. It didn't work.
In fact, they branded me as the "dumbest Gamergater". And you know what? They were right, because I was too stupid to see that you cannot reason with insane lunatics, or expect them to see truth.
I wouldn't be too concerned about these particular crazies. They have no real power, they just make a lot of noise on the internet.
No one with any power will say that right-wingers deserve to die, because people with real power are not stupid enough to go full mask off. What they will do is try to justify the killing of any right-winger on an ad hoc basis, while criticizing the killing of any criminal. Ashli Babbitt deserved to die, despite being an unarmed woman who posed no threat to anyone.
These particular people? None at all. They are used by the powers that be. They are not in the drivers' seat. The powers that be support neoliberal capitalism. There are people like this, who'd like less neoliberalism, but TPTB distract them with RUSSIA and RACISM so they'll shut up about other stuff and be useful instead.
despite them saying that the usa (and democrats) are all right wing here is what they think
Right and left are notoriously fuzzy ideas. There are many things that are 'far-right' in the US but normal elsewhere, and 'far-left' in the US but normal elsewhere. Here in Europe, voter ID is not controversial. There is no vote by mail. No one complains. That is the 'far-right' position in the US.
At the same time, there's much more in terms of social services. More than the Democrats want, because they're neoliberal as well. So ironically, these crazies are right about that. But they don't examine their own nonsense, which are ultra-far-left by the standards of other countries.
The right wants equal rights for all, while they want to re-enact the killing fields of Cambodia.
Did you just encounter these people, or what?

But why would you care? People are idiots, and SJWs are ultra-mega idiots.

Maybe if they said not based on gender, I would have a modicum of sympathy.
Meritocracy is diametrically opposed to the TERF trash they are inviting onto the right.
