Keep that proposition in mind when folks apply social consequences to the folks who agree with you.

No one was forced to shop at this woman’s bakery. She had been nothing but kind to the customers in question over a long number of years, and they admitted they were able to quickly obtain the desired cake elsewhere with little trouble and had suffered no financial or physical damages.

The situation was quickly seized on by a state attorney general who made it into a cause célèbre, quickly destroying this woman’s business and jeopardizing her retirement and her home.

The public remedied that by ending the attorney general’s political career.

These are not “social consequences”, this the result of a jackboot mentality on the part of folks who favor some of the same positions you do who have no problem at all squashing anyone who dares disagree with them.
