Nope. We've lost the ability to criticize an idea without the other side assuming it's an attack.

I say De-fund/Disband the Police is a stupid idea to the wrong person, I get branded as a Republican/Trump Supporter/Nazi/Bootlicker. There is a chance my professional career would end.

I say being transgender is weird or something to the wrong person, I get branded as a homophobic bigot. There is a chance my professional career would end.

Those are two hot button issues that I just came up with due to the news. There's a reason I don't have a public profile associated with myself. The wrong person sees something, and they're up their ass just enough, something can be taken out of context and used to destroy my future.

I'd rather be two-faced then risk what I've built.
