Death threats are already illegal, so that's beside the point.
The line between "voicing an opinion someone disagrees with" and "harassment" is pretty vague, especially when from one person's perspective, thousands of people voicing disagreement to you sure looks like harassment, despite no single person necessarily being harassing.
Her opinions that she voices publicly are just as traumatic, if not more so, than someone pretending to be her dead father. She literally had a "Shout your Abortion" social media campaign. Possibly one of the most traumatic things a woman will ever go through, and she's encouraging people to discuss it as much as possible, even implicitly (or explicitly) suggesting it be discussed with pride. I think you'd have to be pretty delusional to not understand how that's extremely traumatic to a lot of people.
>Endorsing left-wing opinions or writing opinionated books does not merit that level of emotional trauma
People aren't being mean to her because she's a liberal or writing books, they're mean because she's saying and writing things that are offensive and traumatic to them. She's essentially thrown the first punch and getting upset that they're punching back. This isn't victim blaming anymore than it's victim blaming to say she shouldn't attack someone bigger than her if she doesn't want to get her ass kicked.
