The left believes bad ideas reproduce in the open.

You let someone share a bad idea and it multiplies with the validation of an official platform.

That makes it 'dangerous' as exposure is like a virus.

They think if you suppress the people with the bad idea, it will suffocate.

It seems simple to them.
Trump incited his followers to commit violence through his rhetoric, ban Trump and you remove the rhetoric.

No one else gets infected.
But then you must remove all those already infected...

Then you must stop the rhetoric from repeating.

Its a simple issue of threat reduction, not speech suppression.

But they refuse to recognize that in doing so they validate the rhetoric, turn it into dogma and it becomes mythology with more and more loyal adherents.

It goes underground.
It grows in power and legitimacy.

So they keep banning.
Keep cleansing.
Keep building walls and blocks and firewalls trying to stop the infection from returning.

They never realize, in all of history repeating itself, they are cultivating a more infectious incarnation of the virus by doing so.
