Aaaand the person trying to cancel Peggy over a trivial mistake has just doubled and tripled down, and totally rejected any good faith in her explanation of what really happened.

I can't do this anymore. I can't pretend this is okay. I can't pretend I'm not watching my side of the political spectrum turn toxic and abusive.

We are gonna be the new Trumps. We have learned NOTHING about the importance of compassion from them. We are just like them: we take the narrative we find most cozy and empowering, and fuck reality, and fuck the cardboard standees masquerading as people who are in the way.

People, PLEASE start standing up when you see this stuff. Lazy generalizations about people's morality based on their demographics. Good old fashioned prejudice masquerading as social justice. Narcissists using our political tools as cudgels. Black-and-white thinking. Offense about "harm" that takes place purely in someone's own symbolic world. Gatekeeping. Puritanism disguised as concern for non-existent victims.

Please, please start calling it out. I'm begging you.
