> I think you're somewhat underestimating how effectively the far-left minority has scared others into silence

Besides all the YouTube videos, X posts, the addition of two new right-wing TV networks (OANN and NEWSMAX), “Truth” Social, WSJ, NY Post, etc.? Silence is a myth perpetuated by the right (“people are trying to suppress the truth and your 1A rights!”) to build a following when in fact opposition voices are plentiful.

I don't think people on the right are scared. I think too many center-left Democrats are scared.
