"My trans joke was a joke because I structured it that way."

Why wouldn't that apply to every joke anyone has ever made? From what I have read, Positron structured his joke that way (in the form of a satirical blog), and you didn't get it. Sounds like an empty excuse to me.

"Saying [so-and-so] should die is not a joke."

It was a joke, and I think you knew that - you just didn't like it. That's fine, but remember that this joke involved a fictional cartoon character, in a show intended for children. Only a fool would actually take it seriously and throw a tantrum across multiple social media platforms about it, and attempt to incite a social media mob to harass the user who made the harmless joke.

"And for the record, I am not a conservative. I am apolitical and politically neutral though I agree with certain things on both sides of the arguments. Either way, I think that the fact that I am that way people should respect."

Respect is earned, not given. And judging by the comments from the fallout of this whole situation, it seems at least several users who previously respected you, no longer do. Also, repeated spamming of the comments section of Sam's page with your highly argumentative political opinions is a funny way of displaying your supposed political neutrality. You won't earn anyone's respect with that behavior.
