Just finished reading "The Crucible." Man that was a time when you were damned if you do and damned if you don't. Your choice was to commit a sin, lie and say you were influenced by the Devil; or deny any such association and be hung because you were unrepentant. As to whether or not you were under the influence of the Devil was not doubted. Authorities had already made up their mind.
I see this same attitude in several movements today. One is the media, which is determined Trump is bad, and he is damned no matter what he says. They have gone so far as to manipulate lighting in pictures, make up stories, and dwell on things which make no sense. If you talked to anyone form Russia, then you are guilty of collusion, done deal.
The other place I see this is with the Black Lives Matters group. If you say all lives matter, then you are racist. Things are just weird.
