when leftists want to kick people out of the country or be supported by the KKK or grope/molest woman, etc we can be worried about your thought experiment.

when the candidate you choose to support openly wants to make life harder, more difficult or even non-existent for groups of people you've chosen your side and be prepared to defend it.

None of that really matters in this context. @jamesmp98 is asking if it were a left-leaning founder harassing Trump supporters. And if someone wrote a screed like https://img.buzzfeed.com/buzzfeed-static/static/2016-11/12/1... I would hope YC would react. That type of discourse is unbecoming

So, what you're saying is that in 2016, there's only one valid side to the political discussion?

I hate the fact that we've come to the point where everything is now open for discussion and sticking your fingers in your ears and screaming is considered a valid debate style. These days it's the person who holds out the longest that wins, right or wrong.

I didn't see any chance for a debate. Once one side was labelled misogynist, racist, antisemitic and homophobic, it was the end of public discussion and open season on every one of its supporters.

Have a look at social media to see what the current sentiments of the left are regarding white (males). Pure hatred and death wishes, it's absolutely grotesque. The KKK has nothing on them. Get off your moral high horse.
