What about if they open their own restaurant down the street and cater to those who like to stand on tables and scream conspiracies? (beto anyone?) would you then lobby their suppliers of food to drop them? order uber eats to not work with them? order banks not work with them?

I assume that was intended as a Troll, but since the moderators haven't arrived yet, I'll respond

If I own a restaurant and somebody comes in and stands on their table and starts screaming conspiracy theories in a way that disturbs other patrons, I will ask them to stop. If they don't, I will ask them to leave. If they threaten violence, I will call the police. None of those are censorship. And I won't let them back in my restaurant. That's not censorship.

If I own a gun shop and somebody comes in and tells me they want to buy a gun for the purpose of murdering the Vice President and members of congress, refusing to sell them a gun is *not* censorship

On the other hand, if somebody stands on their front yard yelling conspiracy theories and the water company decides to turn off their service as punishment, that seems wholly inappropriate.

If you can't see the difference between these things, I'm afraid there really isn't much room for discussion.

sounds like priming...

they've been talking about these threats to Biden's inauguration since at least September. First it was that they don't have enough support for people to show up and it'll be a MAGA rally, now its under attack and they need 20:1 troops to attendees. yet... not one person can find evidence of a group organizing?

but they must be, because everyone said so?
