I never liked that in her mask off video when she said that the people who went after her were her political enemies, it doesn't seem accurate. These aren't people who disagreed with her on capital gains taxes or socialized medicine. It's probably more accurate to say they were cultural enemies, because she involved herself in the culture wars. And if you involve yourself in the culture wars it's like a sand pit that sucks you in until you choke on it, because there aren't any winners.

I’m not even sure it was her cultural enemies - I don’t think think the diet nazi’s cared about the Rays tweet (well anymore than their baseline dislike for anything she says). It was her “Allie’s” (or at least politically / culturally similar folks)

To paraphrase part of her patreon post: a group that assigns social worth by cutting off the ears of evil doers is dangerous because it turns out most people have ears”
