Yep, that's exactly it. The idea that everyone who disagrees with you, even on a substantive issue like sexual assault, is inherently evil to the core, is something that people like to cling to because it's easy.

Also: does anyone seriously give a fuck about the cocaine (3+ years ago)? Is that really a pedestal people on this meme are standing on? Because by many accounts, it's not uncommon in the NHL. I don't really give a fuck about Toews, but that's the last thing I'd condemn him for.
