I think if you want to be fair you make a distinction about policies you support based on your pov and how you treat the people you come across in your life. That could also make a difference to someone. Preferably by letting them know you're ok with them existing without getting into a discussion about which policies you support and which you don't.
For example, I could feel migrants take away our jobs and tell everyone I assume might be a migrant about my political views. That would make me a lot less of a pleasant human being than if I were to treat someone I assume is a migrant like the people I assume are not. Because to those people I also don't start a conversation about how I feel about that.
I'm not accusing you of anything, but want to tell you that it is possible to come across people choose not to voice your opinion. Not just to prevent receiving that aggression, trolling, cancelling, intimidation you mention; but also because it might help someone feel relaxed when they're around you.
I was only reacting to the title of the post, and I stupidly said 'this meme', that was a mistake. The content of the meme on it's own I fully support. Apologies, thanks for pointing that out!
