Are death threats, racial slurs and suicide part and parcel of a legitimate boycott?

Don't mind, just more white knighting for Trump. Boo hoo, people don't want to hire someone because their audience isn't going to want to see them, McCarthyism, Hitler!

That’s not an isolated instance either. It should cause some serious consternation in people when performers are in fear of the careers/jobs for simply performing, let alone stating a political view.

Why exactly?
Performers are just like anyone else who sells products.
They're not owed anything. If people don't want to buy their product that's their choice. Regardless of whatever valid or silly reason they have for (not) doing so.

What's wrong with boycotting people who support the politics you find inherently immoral and/or harmful exactly?

Jennifer Holliday Says Her Inauguration Performance Is Not for Donald Trump, It's for 'The People of America'

[...]She is not a Trump supporter and actually voted for Clinton in the November election. But over her career, she has performed for presidents of both parties, including the Reagans, the Bushes (father and son) and the Clintons.[...]

[...]Social media's response to Holliday's decision to perform in the ceremony has brought plenty of death threats, suggestions of suicide, warnings of boycott and racial slurs to a level that she says it scared her.[...]

[...]Holliday isn't the only artist scheduled for next week's event to have received harassment over her decision to perform. Sixteen-year-old singer Jackie Evancho, who has a transgender sister, has also publicly discussed the accusations of being a "traitor" that have come her way.[...]

Nope. But you won't get why that isn't relevant, much to nobody's surprise. Just keep white knighting for Trump, our intrepid anti-SJW SJW

Well, since so many performers are being blacklisted and Trump is now president, let’s add some music to Trump’s win.

Warning to all. Don't watch if easily offended.
