The fact that this is a tribal issue shows how pliable people are. Really, everyone should know enough history to know that "their guys" aren't in power forever, and it's only a matter of time until the censorship they think is right and just will be replaced with censorship they find wrong and evil, so we should strive to not encourage government censorship period.
I've lately been comparing it to one of muramasa's swords, which once removed from its scabbard must taste blood before being returned; You better hope there's someone you want cut in the room, because otherwise you're gonna get hurt.
The left complained for decades about things like McCarthyism and Hollywood blacklists, but today we see the opposite, with conservatives being blacklisted in modern Hollywood. Once the pendulum swings once again, what moral right will there be to complain about the next round of McCarthyism?
