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.
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.
The downvotes are because it seemed that you were asking in bad faith. You said “I believe it is true”, but now you say (admit) that you were questioning it.
Well, there you are again. You said “my questioning of what you claimed”. That isn’t self reflection. If you aren’t asking in bad faith, you need to spend more time on your wording.
You just quoted me saying “I believe it’s true” but now you are saying that I’m not self reflecting because I noted that another also believes it to be true and they originally stated it.
You keep accusing me of acting in bad faith, but I’m beginning to think that this is maybe a projection.

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

Funny that you pointed out that my questioning of what you claimed was valid, but I was showered with downvotes.
Amazing.

Confirmation bias is a hell of a drug; I always question whether I simply want something to be true or whether I have the evidence that it is true.
It’s scary that self reflection is viewed as bad faith.

No, I didn’t validate your question, just clarified why you were confused. “A magnitude less” is hyperbole and therefore clearly an opinion.
? You said you had no evidence for it and it was just how you feel. I asked if you had evidence for it.
This seems to very clearly validate my question and reveal that I wasn’t confused.
