Is it ever appropriate to send death threats to people simply because you disagree with them?

Yes

It's disappointing that you feel the need to ask

You would assume common sense would prevail but in 2019 I don't even know what it means anymore.

I'm all for agreeing to disagree. Even if you get disrespectful it's distasteful but I'll just distance myself and carry on.

But I'm seriously perplexed trying to understand how people allow themselves to get so caught up in their feelings that they threaten the lives of other people.

Clearly I must be missing something right?

I've definitely been threatened with death over my political and religious beliefs. That's the internet for you.

For some people their religious and political beliefs are their identity, so disagreement with them is like disagreeing with who they are and they see that as a threat, so they threaten back.
