Unpopular opinion: She would also be harassed if she had endorsed Trump.
EDIT: I'll admit, I got curious about what kind of comments a celeb gets on social media after endorsing Trump. Some people have said that they deserve the harassment, which is at least honest. To be totally clear, I think that Trump is uniquely evil in the modern history of America. He is a grifter and I don't see how anyone could support him or his policies. He is a racist, chauvinist, likely rapist, dangerous for our economy, physical safety, and basic rights.
My only point is that maybe we shouldn't be so quick to throw stones. Taking a political stand is risky for any celebrity, and we should be respectful of people when they do. Also, vote early.
Well, you tell me: Is this harassment?
Source.
Also, WOW, corporate social media is really a sad, angry garbage pile. Thank goodness for the fediverse.
Sure, but
She didn't endorse Harris
If she did endorse Trump, the harassment would have been a magnitude less. Individuals will be individuals, but the leaders of one group are denouncing harassment and violence while the leaders of the other group are inciting it.
I get the logic of this, but you feel pretty confident that it's true. Do you have the numbers to back this up? I believe it is true, but that's not based on any actual evidence.
Not all Republicans are bad people, but all bad people are Republican.
Not at all. There are plenty of evil "independents" and "centrists". But let's not kid ourselves, there are evil Democrats too.
Still, I get your sentiment.
I'm racking my brain trying to come up with what life situation would possibly lead someone to a position so profoundly detached from reality.
Neurodivergent and terminally online.
Probably the best application of occams razor. lol
