This is assigning intent without evidence, as is common in tribal politics. A non-charged assessment might use the phrase "abrupt cancelling."
We cannot create a better republic without constructive discourse, and we cannot have constructive discourse when we default to characterizing the views, concerns, and actions of those we disagree with as rooted in moral failure. Even if it is true from time to time.
Unfortunately, the norms of discourse are pretty much gone. This is terrifying in the long-term.

If you jump straight in with claims against me that I’m -ist and -ic that’s going to be more difficult.
You are calling for constructive discourse and yet your response is an accusation of dishonesty. A non-charged assessment might use the phrase "without presenting evidence".
Not because we aren’t open to it, but because they insist that if you don’t utter the correct shibboleth you’re not worth talking to.
“Without evidence” vs “without presenting evidence”.
Batshitcrazy.
