Also the far right will continue to push this shit because the more divided they can keep people in as many aspects of life as they can the more relevant they can continue to be.

Both sides literally do these smear campaigns.

Eh, don't draw a false equivalency. Yeah, the left has tried and succeeded in getting some people fired recently (Bill O'Rilley jumps to mind, and the me too campaign in general) but generally people with multiple claims of sexual assault and often sexual assault lawsuits that were settled out of court.

Also, most of these were NOT politically motivated--if anything I'd guess that a majority of the "me too" targets were left leaning or democrats. Maybe you can call Bill O'Rilley's firing politically motivated, but the left at least is not hypocritical here.

The left has also tried and...usually failed to get people fired for really distasteful comments (Laura Ingraham for her comments about the Parkland shooters--she still has a job and did not in fact get fired). But these are generally comments made on air recently while doing her current job, and not twitter jokes from 10 years ago unrelated to current job.

Obviously yes, the left throws their own stones, but it's not manufactured the way this is. It's not like the left sees someone criticizing Obama, and reacts by digging through that person's old tweets looking for ways to get them fired.
