The context is very different. Online, you're leading with your thoughts, not appearance.
Anyone trafficking in "Betsy DeVos is unqualified because she associated with anti-LGBT, Christian, hate groups qualifies as "swine.'"
As for ex-swine, once they demonstrate the "ex" they no longer qualify as "swine."
Any attempt to smuggle in the idea of “once swine always swine” (which is easy to do with the English language because of its poverty of certain verb tenses) is simply dishonest. It’s also a moral cop-out before God.
