They are making it clear: announce your support for Harris, get harassed.
Unpopular opinion: She would also be harassed if she had endorsed Trump.
EDIT: I’ll admit, I got curious about what kind of comments a celeb gets on social media after endorsing Trump. Some people have said that they deserve the harassment, which is at least honest. To be totally clear, I think that Trump is uniquely evil in the modern history of America. He is a grifter and I don’t see how anyone could support him or his policies. He is a racist, chauvinist, likely rapist, dangerous for our economy, physical safety, and basic rights.
My only point is that maybe we shouldn’t be so quick to throw stones. Taking a political stand is risky for any celebrity, and we should be respectful of people when they do. Also, vote early.
Well, you tell me: Is this harassment?
She the first one they would throw off the wall #handmaidstale
I can’t with you. Next tatoo of that big forehead, should be “Pendeja”!
PLEASE DO NOT GET YOUR POLITICAL ADVICE FROM A WOMAN OF HER KIND!
🤡🙃🤡🙃🤡
Stay over there with “your people”!
You’re White wash!
FOR SURE SHE AINT BLACK
SHUT UP, B****!
No wonder Kanye dated you. 🤢🤮
Joseline was right. #Disgusting.
You are frugly.
Says the girl who has a Black mom and white dad that only rides black 🍆 🤦🏾♀️🤷🏽♀️ Did you let Trump eat you up?
🗑️🗑️🗑️🗑️🗑️🗑️

Straight up drag man.

You’re 40 years old. Lay off the filters and you only on this level cause you slept with a football size team of celebrities
This is what happens when rappers get airheads off the pole and empower them.
your not to bright are you?
Burnt out shawty
Also, WOW, corporate social media is really a sad, angry garbage pile. Thank goodness for the fediverse.
Sure, but

She didn’t endorse Harris

If she did endorse Trump, the harassment would have been a magnitude less. Individuals will be individuals, but the leaders of one group are denouncing harassment and violence while the leaders of the other group are inciting it.

I get the logic of this, but you feel pretty confident that it’s true. Do you have the numbers to back this up? I believe it is true, but that’s not based on any actual evidence.
Sorry if it wasn’t clear, maybe I should have said, “I feel the harassment would have been a magnitude less.” The rest is pretty provable, in that Drumpf & Co. have been spewing hate and even threatening violence in some cases, while Democrats have general spoken up against violence.
Even more unpopular opinion, bigots deserve to be harassed for their bigotry.
Even more unpopular opinion, many bad people deserve many bad things but that doesnt make it okay to commit them.
that being said, I’m well aware of the paradox of tolerance.

We live in a world where hatred is a legitimate political position that can get votes. Unless that is resisted, you will see policies enacted on the basis of hate. Evidence suggests that this is not a good outcome.
True but it is not apples to oranges. Look at what these two are saying.
Trump:
- Distain for fallen service members and their families,
- racists comments and dog whistling any chance he gets
- making fun of disable people, distain for poor or middle class people
- openly hostile to democracy and people having a voice
- hatred for any women with a voice or dares to stand up for herself
- hatred for LGBTQ+ people
- hatred for migrants trying to escape death
- openly supportive of genocide
- open hatred for any brown/black person that doesn’t love him (or any person honestly)
Kamala:
- Kind of openly supporting genocide
This is not Bush or a McCain situation. At least they had some redeeming traits. Hell, they at least loved their kids. A very low bar to trip over.
Oh poor thing, could she sleep that night?! /s Haters gonna hate
I’m sorry, but let’s be realistic… if she came out in support of trump she would get a lot of negative responses also. We’re a pretty divided country.
True but I feel like it would be mostly civil criticism from the left rather than the threats you see on the right. Both negative feedback sure but not of the same intensity.
Devils advocate here: If she voiced support for Trump, a lot of us here would be equally upset.
2.) “Equally” is inaccurate at best, and implies that the mentally deficient still fervently rabid for his scatological spew have the capacity for rational thought. 🤷🏼♂️
I have never cared so strongly about something that I felt it was appropriate to harass someone via Twitter for their views on it.
I’ll be negatively judging them, sure, but I’m not going to flood their DMs with death threats. That’s some basement dwelling troglodyte bullshit right there.
a lot of us here would be equally upset
I’m autistic. I navigate the world with more effort, making sense of things with evidence. The evidence heavily suggests that many humans are purposefully trying to make a world which harms humans. This doesn’t upset me.
So, no, I wouldn’t be upset. It would just be another data point, and I would be one realisation of the moral failure of the human world closer to death.
I know Elon Musk is, but are so many Republicans really this despicable? Or is it Russian bots trying to make it look like it?
One thing the article doesn’t mention, is Caitlin Clark’s place as a white woman in a sport dominated by black athletes, and the segment of her fans that she might eventually have to disown. For example, there’s an under-current of racism in the drama between her and Angel Reese.
Sue Bird had similar experiences but a generation or so earlier. Of course, there was less social media when she was a young player, and a lot less focus of women’s basketball. Even still, there was a lot of dog-whistle language about how, “she played the game the right way,” or how, “she’s an upstanding citizen.” Of course, Bird eventually came out which made some of those fans leave on their own.
The racism has been coming from Reese and her camp. It is frankly embarrassing how they have been behaving. There is no reason 17% of all flagrant fouls in the league should be directed at one player. Some of those hits look like lacrosse hits.
That Hillary Clinton deplorables comment? Most truthful thing she’s ever said in her life.
