If you like it and your opponent doesnt....you are a bad person. And vice-versa.
Christ....we have people assuming everyone who doesnt believe in getting a vaccine for themselves....is now a white supremacist. Regardless of their skin color or even actual beliefs.
Common sense, critical thinking and healthy debate have been replaced by making sure you are on the opposite side of any and every issue your opposition has taken a stand on.
This is "woke" culture.

Hate to break it to you - but this isn't new. Satanic panic in the 70s/80s. Evil rap music in 80s/90s. Violent video games in 90s/2000s.
Just with social media, the group of people who let themselves go crazy can amplify their message more than ever before. And this applies to people on the 'cancel' side and the opposition.
