He shared a similar sentiment and he wrote,

Leftoids can't understand why conservatives cheer a girl like Alyssa Liu because their worldview demands total ideological conformity and purity.

Mildly disagree on one issue and you're not just wrong, you are subhuman, unworthy of any admiration or basic respect, someone whose life must be utterly and completely destroyed.

And that's not an exaggeration.

We saw what happened in 2020.

We have seen the cancel culture for people that they loved, for family and friends.

Not an exaggeration.

Anyway, Kongman goes on and says, conservatives can disagree with somebody's politics yet still celebrate her talent.

especially when she wins gold for Team USA, drapes herself in the flag, and openly expresses her love for America.

One side hates everyone to their right across the board, and the other can celebrate a cute American figure skater even when she does not check every box.

The divide between left and right in America is between people who hate America and want to destroy it versus those who love America and want to preserve it.

It is that simple.

And it really is.

Like again, we are just happy that she checked her personal politics at the door and that she showed genuine joy and gratitude for our country and the opportunities that afforded her.

Like that is the bare minimum, but we love it.

And we also love that unlike other athletes, like angry and elitist Eileen Gu, that she did not leave to go compete for the CCP even after she and her father were literally spied on by them.

We love, in typical American spirit, that she and many other skaters have bucked the normal figure skating trends and did so with fire and passion and excellence that we are pushing the sport forward.

And regardless of politics, I also think that so many people of many different ages and just across the aisle see ourselves in her story of having a passion for something, but then being burned out, getting beaten down, feeling like you could not excel underneath somebody else's structure, and then being able to come back on her own terms and absolutely crush it.

Whether that is at school or in sports, in your career, your personal life, like that is a very universal experience.

And her coming back to the Olympics with this newfound joy and skill was so inspiring to watch, even if you do not give a damn about figure skating.
