The constant harassment and abuse from speciesist reactionaries is what drove us off. But mentioning that part would ruin the narrative that vegans are the bad guys

A lot of the comment is fine (although maybe getting to close to "it's harder being a white vegan than a minority" territory) but this is just wrong. The US state does not give a shit about you just for being vegan, it's when you go into harder activism that they do.
25 year old Sally telling her family that she won't eat meat anymore is at no risk of being targeted by pretty much any government around the world. It's 30 year old Paula who just set fire to a farm that gets targeted or 49 year old Tom who broke in and stolen some animals.
Are they justified in it? Sure, maybe, but it's not like there's gestapo waiting inside Taco Bell for when you order the vegan crunchwrap.
Being a leftist means actually doing shit, which is why I specified leftist vegans. Libs don't threaten power which is why the govt doesn't go after them, just like it doesn't go after internet commenters like you. I think we made it pretty fucking clear in this comm that being a vegan means fighting for nonhumans, not just being plant based, but hexers can't even read the rules in the sidebar, so I don't expect you to have read any theory. No investigation, no right to speak
Ag Gag laws
Ag Gag laws are for inside farms and factories, it's still not arresting a person simply for being vegan. They're fascist, but it's not "we're being treated as terrorists because I bought the impossible whopper"
Do you actually find that a convincing argument after you just said the government doesn't care what people eat?
Liberal depoliticization of food.
