What you have cited are boycotts. That’s passive effort, yes. You cannot seriously believe that there’s any moral equivalency between the concerted, aggressive cancellations the Lefties are practicing these days, and the mere exercising of personal preferences you’ve cited on the right.
On FR (not society at large), perhaps there’s an assumption that we agree on the core principles of the Constitution and the founding. So on FR, when there are people who disagree (within that microcosm), name-calling rears its head. I, too, a appalled by this. We should contend w/o being so contentious. Hey, it’s a new year. Maybe... we can try to remember we’re on the same team.
Same for social issues. Karl Rove and crew put forth gay marriage vote in 2004 and now the lefties are bringing abortion to vote, thanks Karl!. There is always blowback on issues, mobs ebb and flow. FR is a test case on such a ecosytem, how much has changed here since 9/11.
