Including on DU. It's very unfortunate, but for the ultra hot button topics, I've seen DUers called traitors, disloyal, and worse simply because they express a different perspective. Just like what happens when MAGA does it, this chills all other perspectives and smothers all dialogue.

Love you all, but sometimes I wish we'd pay attention to the wisdom in some of the articles posted here.
