39% of Americans are not public figures. Public figures can and regularly do get shit canned for what they say. That's an integral part of the job.

- lucaspm98 5y agoI can agree there is a greater level of scrutiny on public figures. I'm simply surprised because this is a fairly generic tweet supporting a mainstream political position.

- bronzeage 5y agoCancel culture is out of control. It's disgusting. This isn't some Nazi. People who are against abortion think that it is murder. You can disagree with them but it's not like they are coming from some morally unjustified position. A person speaks out against what he thinks is murder, and ends up cancelled and resigning. I love eating meat, I don't see it as murder but I would never agree to cancel someone because he decides to speak out his mind that meat is murder.

There are relatively few vegetarians and vegans, so they aren't a real threat. I doubt you know what you would do if the number of vegetarians and vegans in your country were the same as the number of anti-abortion theocrats and the former were actively pursuing a long-term goal of establishing legally that all animals have personhood.
