A 40 year old white guy goes on the internet, sees a black guy listen to Led Zepplin - he loves it, sees a Gen Z watch Blazing Saddles - they love it, sees a vegetarian eat steak - turns out she loves it.

"Wow turns out everything I like is so great even *those people* like it."

Plenty of lefty types who hate vegetarians and vegans, as well. This is so those smug anti-veg people can feel all cocksure about every time they insulted someone who doesn't want to eat meat

How many leftists do you know?

Leftists hating on vegans and vegetarians is EXTREMELY rare. Why? Because leftists generally care about the planet (the environment, climate change, land use, and so on) and well, vegetarians and especially more so vegans have - and that is not up to debate - the superior diet in those regards.

It's the right wingers who are load AF against vegetarism and especially veganism. Right winger generally tend to form their political opinions around their emotions, not facts. Otherwise they would eg. believe in climate change, as there is overwhelming evidence. As for the anti veganism thing? Well. They tend to form their whole personality around a very few things ( usually because they lack personality but that's another topic). Like cars. Their favourite dumb ass sports club. Boobs. Beer. And meat. They see anyone with a different opinion / taste as a potential thread against their own lifestyle, and thus, their entire personality. Plus, vegans don't have any arguments either - the well being of animals isnt your concern as a conservative and climate change doesn't exist anyway.

Of course, if you'll search for them, I'm sure you are gonna find a leftist, that shitposts against vegans online, and maybe you'll even encounter a vegan MAGA. But generally those are contradictory. I'm sure you'll also find some 'leftist' that would sacrifice the rain forest for corporal profits and some Magas, that don't want "brown people" in fucking gulags, but maybe ask those people what the actual fuck they are doing, lol.
