Except one side is pissed at them not doing it enough while the other is pissed at being on the receiving side of the censorship. There is a party of authoritarianism at the moment.

Don't forget "fact checks are a form of censorship".

How did we, as a species, drop so low that to say that the thing a person says is disputed gets blown up into a huge issue.

I have no problem with people of ANY political persuasion being fact checked - is it perfect? No. But is it better than nothing? On balance, it appears so.
