Neither Mark Hamill nor JK Rowling are conservatives. Far from it, in fact. Both are quite liberal. But, with the left being the all-devouring ideology that it is that must continue growing to survive, it tends to eat its own unless they move ever farther to the left.
And so now even very left-leaning individuals are finding themselves in the sights of the woke mob because they dispute some point or another of the left’s agenda and their differing opinion on one point is treated as a mortal threat to the left’s program.
Such has been clearly the case with JK Rowling, who is a feminist and so is skeptical of the transgender movement and the claim that men can be women. She found herself in a Twitter fight over the issue again recently, with a transgender activist saying “I’m more of a woman than JK Rowling ever will be” and Rowling responding by saying “Citation needed.”

A good citation would be needed, as Rowling has 57 years of experience being a woman.
But that snarky, funny reply from Rowling wasn’t the end of it. Then, “Star Wars” actor Mark Hamill, himself a radical leftist, liked Rowling’s tweet. Louder with Crowder, reporting on what happened after Hamill liked the tweet, had this to say:
Hamill liked the tweet for reasons known only to the actor. Unbeknownst to the former Jedi, it set off a tremor in the Force. Not the good Force. The Dark Side of the Force. Slacktivists! The ones who troll Twitter policing who likes what tweet, to make sure no one they are a fan of ever likes the “wrong” tweet. If you are saying, “wow Brodigan, these losers have NO lives whatsoever,” you’d be right! As said, they are slacktivists.
And the freakout continued, as one account noted with about a dozen screenshots, commenting “Mark Hamill likes a tweet of J.K. Rowling and the internet loses their minds as usual. Claiming he has done this once before so this isn’t an accident and he obviously supports transphobia. These people need to go outside more…”

Here’s another one of those: “Mark Hamill liked a JK Rowling tweet and “fans” are praying the like was accidental. If the like was not accidental, then sadly it is pitchfork time 😞. They have no choice but to sacrifice Mark. The Cancelation Council is scheduled to hold a meeting forthwith for judgement✍️”

And another good one: “Hey @MarkHamill the community has been upset and divided by your liking this post. We could really use some context or at least a reassurance that you support your trans fans. I don’t want anyone cancelling you without full context.”

And another: “This is the second time Mark Hamill has done this, which, fair enough, but he should really learn how transphobes speak. The tweet endorsing Forstater was ambiguous enough, so…okay. But this one is pretty blatant transphobia. India Willoughby is a trans woman.”

These people really do need to get outside more.
