Is credible threats of violence, especially towards elected officials, a "political ideology" that deserves protection and promotion?
You make it out as if this is an attact on Republicans or conservatists. It's not. It's an attack on extremists who are posting credible threads of extreme harm and violence on others. Is banning ISIS from platforms enough of a "slippery slope" that would prevent the ban?

Exactly, many of the people crying loudly right now are doing it from Twitter, because they have not been banned, because they did not incite any violence.
