This happens in real life too. You could pull a soap box out in Times Square and yell “fuck Trump” and everyone would clap

Flip it around and you say something actually objectively positive about Trump’s presidency and people will boo you off at best. I’ve seen actual right-wing speakers get openly attacked because they said something the city dones didn’t like.

People just want to hear things they like, doesn’t help that social media in general is the main cause of collective societal brain rot.
