A number of fans have seemingly turned against Caitlin Clark after the WNBA star liked Taylor Swift's Instagram post endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris.
They are making it clear: announce your support for Harris, get harassed.
many bad people deserve many bad things but that doesnt make it okay to commit them.
We live in a world where hatred is a legitimate political position that can get votes. Unless that is resisted, you will see policies enacted on the basis of hate. Evidence suggests that this is not a good outcome.
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.
Sorry if it wasn’t clear, maybe I should have said, “I feel the harassment would have been a magnitude less.” The rest is pretty provable, in that Drumpf & Co. have been spewing hate and even threatening violence in some cases, while Democrats have general spoken up against violence.
Maxx Crosby from the Raiders recently posted a pic with Trump and I was disappointed, but moved on. I’m sure he caught some flack, but probably nowhere near as much as Clark has.
Unpopular opinion: She would also be harassed if she had endorsed Trump.
Even more unpopular opinion, bigots deserve to be harassed for their bigotry.
Even more unpopular opinion, many bad people deserve many bad things but that doesnt make it okay to commit them.
that being said, I’m well aware of the paradox of tolerance.

I agree with you. the situation is not black and white.
Sure, but
She didn’t endorse Harris

Funny that you pointed out that my questioning of what you claimed was valid, but I was showered with downvotes.
Amazing.
No, I didn’t validate your question, just clarified why you were confused. “A magnitude less” is hyperbole and therefore clearly an opinion.
Not all Republicans are bad people, but all bad people are Republican.
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.
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.

She would be looked down upon. That’s not the same thing as harassment.
True but it is not apples to oranges. Look at what these two are saying.
Trump:
Kamala:
This is not Bush or a McCain situation. At least they had some redeeming traits. Hell, they at least loved their kids. A very low bar to trip over.
