It's not just conservatives. I feel like I've been screaming into the wind about Danny Masterson and Ashton Kutcher for like a decade, and just about everyone defended them and shit on me for calling them creeps, and potential abusers. Same with Johnny Depp, who is a real piece of work, but gets a pass because his ex was worse. Joe Biden is suddenly no longer creepy uncle Joe among young Democrats, and even calling out his past issues will get you labeled a conservative.

"if you're not with us, you're against us" in this society. It's insane. There is no room for independent thought, views, or opinions. No contrasting points of view, no critical thinking, no wavering on the established position of your side. Align your beliefs with ours or you will be admonished and labeled and cast aside as a terrible person.
