To be fair, if she is posting a lot about BLM and left-wing activist stuff (which the tweets imply she is) and is then dating an active Trump supporter, that is a bit hypocritical and I could see why people would be annoyed. But still really creepy that people have gone to such lengths to stalk her. If her partner is just a republican rather than a Trump supporter then it’s not such a big deal.
No. Its not hypocritical.
Liberalism is about encouraging debate and difference of opinion is healthy in creating and reinforcing your own arguments.
Part of relationships is about a healthy exchange of views and in turn that helps to moderate views and understand others with different persceptives - and in turn slowly change opinions. You should respect others with different views even if you don't agree with them. You should instead engage with them and demonstrate over time why your argument is more compelling and better for society as a whole.
The idea that you start from a point of being signed up to all the 'right views' is nonsense. The left is not as pure and immune from valid criticism as it likes to believe. Its healthy for the left to be challenged where it is utterly hypocritical - and not where it is merely differs in opinion.
At the moment there is a real racist undertone to some white support for BLM and there is some utterly sexist stuff entrenched in views that are supposed to be feminist and there is some incredibly capitalist views from some who profess to be be socialists. THATS where the issues lie, not with people who associate with people who aren't fully signed up to 'the cause'. This ultimately serves the likes of Trump far more than 'proving your morality on twitter'.
Its authoritarian bullshit, that is inadvertantly harmful to those it professes to support most. You don't persuade people about an idea with cancel culture, you just alienate them and entrench them.
I am utterly SICK of it.
The sooner it all implodes the better tbh.
