> Trump and non-nazi Trump supporters MUST NOT be harassed by simple association, EXCEPT to the extent that they are themselves protecting the nazis, or trying to muddy the waters.
That's the thin end of the wedge though.
- Muslims must not be harassed by simple association, except where they muddy the waters to protect Islamists.
- Feminists must not be harassed by simple association, except where they muddy the waters to protect transphobes.
- Conservatives must not be harassed by simple association, except where they muddy the waters to protect an anti-gay rights agenda.
"Muddying the water" is dangerously vague. Who adjudicates between good-faith arguments and those intended to give cover for extremists?
