>Appeasing the right has gone on for long enough

You should reflect on what that really means. You're segregating the population into 2 segments, which furthers the current problems the US is facing. Each side ostracizing the other.

If one segment of the population decides to segregate itself by not participating in the political process in good faith, then they must be cut out of the process as much as legally possible. Previous attempts to reach across the aisle have been increasingly ineffective since at least Gingrich and they have led to this - an insurrection in the Capitol building mere weeks before a planned peaceful transition of power.

This is the first time in more than a century and a half that a transition hasn't been peaceful. Fort Sumter all over again.

Agreed, the statement that "the right is deeply upset by what they feel is censorship of their thoughts, which fuels their rage" doesn't necessarily apply to the entire right. It certainly does apply to the subset that recently hijacked the Republican Party though.
