Why not address the meat of my statement? Please do.

I can acknowledge: It’s really impossible to ‘silence’ anyone these days.*

Yet, a culture of punishment for speaking against the executive branch can be simply distilled to that... The only other option is that the specific opposition or opponent is being amplified by the executive branch in order to slay an easy opponent, and wash off valid criticism and claims as hogwash conspiracy.

*The more apt term is containment. And yet here we are... contained. And now! It’s fucking pulling teeth to even get whiffs of political discussion vs. 2-2.5 years ago when this was by far the best damn place on the internet to talk politics.
