My thinking is just that you, Frink, are more likely to find a mob mentality on the left to have a valid argument, but it doesn’t make them not have a mob mentality.
To follow up: For example, I give you Jordan Peterson’s interview with Cathy “So-what-you’re-saying-is…” Newman. There has been a mob mentality to try to paint Cathy Newman as a victim in response to the backlash she got for her treatment of him on camera. I’m sure there are people who did react to her unfairly, but that doesn’t make the response in defense of her “just doing her job” either accurate nor more credible.
