We have fostered an environment in which a man who has apparently committed no crimes nor harmed anyone is shamed into ending his life.

lol, nope, Republicans fuck off, we're intolerant to intolerance in this household
Poor poor racist Republican, joined the Republican party to hold down women, and minorities, didn't wanna get into the whole "the leopards that eat faces party, that i glad fully joined and represented. might eat my face, should they find out i like wearing women's clothing, here, let me just defund another domestic violence shelter, nope, i'll be just fine"
All Republicans are hypocritical bigots, by definition. It's the core of their political party, it's who they signed up to be identified with, it's who they are, or in the case of this poor bigoted fuck, were. I don't want to see any "but this was a nice republican" bullshit. After the Southern Strategy in 1964, all Republicans are trash, every single one.
Institutionalized racism, misogyny, homophobia, and white Christian separatism as party platform. No matter how "conservative" Republicans claimed to be, The Southern Strategy was the core value and singular driving force for the past 60 years.
MAGA isn't a symptom, it's result.
Agree with the thoughts on Republican party in generally. But let's be sure that it's morally wrong to out people, even if they have betrayed the social contract on tolerance.

That means you don't tolerate people's intolerance. It doesn't mean you go scorched earth and use their own hateful tactics against them.
In this case, it was his own party and/or "side" that outed him. But it was still wrong regardless of who did it and no one should encourage that.
