We're so far from that being literally true or possible that you need not pause over hyperbole.

What you call hyperbole (presumably including when you said you agreed with everything she said) is virtue-signaling, and masks the real problem that it's hard to figure out what, concretely, is to be done. In its way, it's like the way that conservatives all vie with each other to show that they are purer in their aims to trigger libs ("I'm going to drown the government in the bathtub" "I'm going to build a wall" "I'm separate brown children from their parents as a deterrent"). The problem comes when such people find themselves in actual positions of authority and have convinced themselves that their hyperbole is an action plan.
