> this isn’t a disagreement on tax policy, this is advocating hatred and violence. There are still around 40% people voting for Trump and many donating to him, so you mean they are also advocating hatred and violence? What you believe could be different from others. People can choose different perspectives to see and understand the world. We should encourage different ideas and voices. This post could be downvoted too because I'm supporting and encouraging different voices.

In very many cases, that is quite overtly the case. > What you believe could be different from others. Right. And hatred (racial, misogynistic, and otherwise) and violence are among the areas where those differences can be found within the electorate.

At this point, I'd have to say yes, given Trump's actions the past few days. His supporters are openly committing sedition[1]. If you don't believe and hatred and violence, and you still support him, I'd have to say that's a case of superior orders. The man is intentionally inciting fear and violence. Encouraging different opinions and voices are fine, but there is a limit. When that voice is actively encouraging harm to others based on unfounded allegations, it makes sense to cut it off, as it is not driving the conversation forward. 1- https://www.bostonglobe.com/news/politics/2016/10/15/donald-trump-warnings-conspiracy-rig-election-are-stoking-anger-among-his-followers/LcCY6e0QOcfH8VdeK9UdsM/story.html https://www.bostonglobe.com/news/politics/2016/10/15/donald-...
