I'm not sure how I identify philosophically but I wholeheartedly beleive that I should have the iron fisted power to drive all the radical christofascist conservatives and their enablers bloody and screaming back into their hovels or over a very high rocky cliff.
Other than that I am a pretty nice guy.
And I dream of a world in which, instead of merely wishing to oppress and murder this group of people instead of that one, people don't wish to oppress and murder anyone.
When they stop, let me know
You can read more into Karl Popper’s Paradox of Tolerance if you want to harden your philosophical position for what you have described.
Most people seem to miss the fact that it's a paradox, even though it's right there in the name.
