Anecdotes and all that, but the past month has been crazy. Call for doxxing of high school kids, to open fire on them if you see them, or to lock them in the school and burn it down, and nothing happens. Tweet "learn to code" at a journalist and your account gets suspended.

> Kathy Griffin literally called for her followers to dox the MAGA kids.
Well, she asked for names, not a full dox, but I would agree that she should have been temporarily suspended for that, yep.
> like some trans-esclusionary radical femminists
They tend not to be leftist/liberal in my experience.

"liberal" is a confusing word; for a few centuries leftist/liberal meant very similar things in the west. Today we have strong movements of illiberal/authoritarian on the left while the right (in the US) has strong libertarian movements.
Consider the famous example of the baker and the homosexual wedding. Without judging the standard leftist position is significantly less libertarian than the usual position on the right.
Journalist are the lifeline of twitter, so they will always be on the side of the mainstream media. If you are leftist/liberal but out of the media bubble (like some trans-esclusionary radical femminists) then you are worse off than conservatives,
