> We aren’t talking about silencing those that “support storming of the capital”.

Yes, as I said we are talking about a much smaller group than even that. Nor are we actually talking about silencing them, we're talking about certain forums not serving as megaphones for them.

> We are talking about silencing an entire party of people.

No, we aren’t. I mean, not with any connection to reality, we aren’t.

> Donald Trump received approximately 46.8% of the popular vote.

Yes, but no major platform is adopting a rule that would cutoff access to people who voted for Donald Trump, so that’s not relevant.

> Is that not slightly less than half of the voting public?

Yes, but no one is talking about silencing people based on membership in that group.

> You’re talking about silencing slightly less than 1/2 of the the people who care about this stuff.

No, literally no one is talking about doing that.



It appears that this entire comment and all of its replies have been hidden from public view. Oh the irony! We are the only ones discussing this now lol.


Shows up fine for me in a non-logged-in session, confirming my suspicion that we are literally posting from different realities.


Just checked, it's not showing up for me in a logged out session. It's not surprising though!


It shows up fine for everyone. You might actually be delusional, in the medical sense.
