It is estimated that one in three Americans own a gun. So unless you are going to label 120 million Americans in the "basket of deplorables" you can understand why a great many Americans would find linking "gun packing" to "bigoted, hater".
Now by "Neo-Nazi" I assume you mean fascist. Fascism, like communism, socialism, and capitalism is one of many valid isms. Just as the fire department is a socialist institution, the police department is a fascist institution. I am pretty sure that we all are pro fire department and pro police department. So again, using a label like that to evoke "Hitler and gas chambers" when in reality you are referring to "law and order" republicans is another example of provoking a divisive response.
Finally, are you calling everyone who voted for Trump a "trump person"? That seems awfully unfair. You yourself basically counseled me that you need to pick between one of the two candidates with a chance to win. We know for a fact that many of those who voted for Trump, perhaps even a solid majority of those who voted for Trump would not characterize themselves as "Trump people".
So those three terms come across as willfully provocative and designed to insult. Of course your claim "violent" gun packing neo nazi Trump people either greatly limits your discourse to the very, very few vocal Trump supporters convicted of aggravated assault during the campaign, or else is slanderous.
