So what would you suggest? Insurrection cannot be left with no response. Their "movement" is entirely based on lies. I understand that you're trying to get people to "think like them" but it's also paving over the vast gap between reality and delusion that these people have. They have been emboldened to do very stupid things in very public places and that can't be allowed to stand, or society will collapse under their stupidity. Just imagine being on an airplane with a bunch of ravenous Trumpers and they get into some argument with some liberal. Violence is contagious in a big group (as has been proven time and time again. The Capitol riot is a great example, the violence was started by a relatively small few) and people will do despicable things if their social surroundings deem it ok. Society, as a whole, needs to excise this despicable behavior or it will be consumed by it.

Censoring their thought leader is effectively a manifestation of this dichotomous thinking. Divide and conquer. Steel man the arguments and destroy them in public. Don’t overgeneralize. Here are 3 tools to use that don’t involve violence or censorship.
