It's hard to take this seriously when the two examples are of fringe extreme leftists while mainstream conservative's hate of liberals is the main driving ideology of the party in power right now.
- makomk 10y agoUnfortunately, from what I've seen support for those "fringe extreme leftists" has become an expected norm on a surprisingly wide chunk of social media, and probably a more-or-less mandatory part of leftwing activism. Opposing it marks you out as a neo-Nazi sympathizer or worse in those circles. There was even something of a backlash against the ACLU for taking the other side, though more muted and conciliatory than the treatment less prominent individuals received. In unrelated news, I'm currently looking for better social circles.
