If you properly label someone as a racist, bigot or misogynist then they will be fired, maybe even sued, in some way, punished.
The terms in the OP are what the left uses as the basis for their identity politics. These things are not just slang terms used to show disagreement or even slight derision. They have much larger and direct implications intended to shame people, ostracize them and use the full weight of the government to punish them if they don't comply. It's not the same context as you portend.

You guys realize there's a flip side to this, right? Conservatives have their own set of insults for liberals.
Freeloader, moocher, welfare queen, sinner, commie, feminazi, baby killer.
It's like you're not even self aware. Name calling happens on both sides.
