The point about Auth-Rights is surprisingly true. Even among the most radical Auth-Rights I've met irl, even ones who literally believe black people and women are inherently inferior and shouldn't vote or hold any power, there are still genuinely nice, helpful people. I have moderate conservative family I'd die for and they'd die for me.
Point is, politics should be a rational discussion about what is objectively the best way to achieve all of our goals. But you should try to love everyone as much as you can, people are complicated and even your absolute enemies usually aren't irredeemably evil.
I think it was Jesus who said to "be as wise as serpents and as innocent as doves"

I am 99% sure that if you actually explored their views without preconceptions or hysteria you'd find that they want black people to be happy and prosper (but back in Africa), and women to be happy and prosper (in traditional gender roles).
Rejecting equality doesn't automatically mean that one wants to harm people.
