@aqua-letifer Nothing in what I wrote suggests I believe anyone who disagrees with me politically thinks with the same hive mind.
Well when you said "it's about silencing you as well," that's completely untrue. I'd be willing to bet that almost everyone who would jump at the chance to invoke the 25th against Trump would also not want to silence 89th for his political beliefs.
@aqua-letifer By definition, invoking the 25th really is about dealing with a specific individual. (I wasn't addressing that issue in this thread)
Selectively enforcing policies about inciting violence or using hate speech, is what's got me worried.
If time shows my concerns unfounded--hallelujah! But as of right now, I'm not very optimistic.

No, you need to be silenced. Your ideas are racist and dangerous.
It's for the good of the country.

It's for the good of the country.In the absolute shitload of stuff I read and see from liberals every day, I literally don't know anyone who's saying that.
You're grouping everyone not on your side together and speaking for them so you can demonize them. That's exactly how all this will escalate.
Please love yourself.

Excuse me, but how many voices are now banned from Twitter? Parler is now off of the internet, or soon will be. The POTUS, duly elected, cannot post on Twitter, but the Communist Chinese can. Many people's voices besides Trump are now silenced or will be.
I don't have to group everyone together, there are plenty of people on the Left who are doing that as fast as they can...

A very, very small percentage. And yes they're making some big mistakes there. But we have never before had to grapple with this stuff and we're being sloppy. The overwhelming majority of Trumpists out there are still quite obviously raging on social media.

And you can thank Trump for this, and maybe for the destruction of the Republican Party. He could’ve just accepted his loss and moved on.

Too Trump-centric. Look at what's happening. Trump is just the excuse.

Ms. Pelosi says "whiteness" is bad.
You are "whiteness"
Now you literally do know someone who is saying that.

I think @Axtremus brought it up earlier about the US government having an official channel of communication.
There may be some things that are in the "public good" so that they need to be "owned" by the government. Post office is one example. Not sure if that is still needed now, but back when, it was necessary. Maybe there should be a government communication channel like Twitter.
If you do rely on a third party and have no real "contract" with them, then you cannot expect to keep control over that third party
