I saw a great analogy on Twitter: Imagine Twitter as the anti-homosexual cake shop and Q-Anon/Trump/Radical Right as the couple who want a cake for their gay wedding.

Tolerance for the intolerant is a virtue? There need to be boundaries on destructive behavior. One scenario isn't substantively harming society.

Not at all. The hypocrisy is that the same folks who cheered the Supreme Court cake ruling are now wanting AWS to bake them a cake.

Are people born "QAnon"? If you consider yourself moderate, are you Bi? Am I cis-liberal?

I think this analogy needs a lot of work.

Why is this a great analogy?

Specifically, how does banning people for their actions work well as an analogy for banning someone for who they are (and you must take that for granted, because that's the legal frameworks opinions on the matter)?

That's also an even worse example because the supreme court found in favor of the cake shop.

I think it is the reverse. If a baker can't be forced to bake a rainbow cake (for members of a protected class) then AWS most certainly cannot be forced to provide service to people espousing violent political action (not a protected class.)
