Isn't it interesting how Carano supporters are suddenly very concerned about hate now it's directed at her (and conservatives in general) but like to gloss over the reason she they are getting this criticism is because of their own behaviour towards others.

If people want empathy and understanding they need to extend that to others first. Nearly half a million Americans have died of covid and Carano is spreading covid denialism, where is her empathy for the victims and their families? Trans people are one of the most vulnerable and misunderstood groups in Western societies, where was her empathy and understanding for them? Jewish people were exterminated for being born Jewish, and she compares that to choosing to express "conservative" (read: bigoted, because they aren't getting "cancelled" for expressing concern about budget deficits) in public, where is her empathy and understanding there?

As for "silencing disagreement" or whatever nonsense, you cannot disagree on peoples fundamental human right to exist safely and free of persecution if you claim to aspire to a free and civil society.
