I am not sure if you truly wish to understand the point here, but consider the protests in Hong Kong.
No lies. No allegations of fraud. The people just do not want to be ruled that way. Facts just don't matter to politics and never have.
I think it is a weak move on China's part to crack down like they are. I think it is a weak move to stifle speech and organization. I think some of the protesters certainly broke laws and will be held criminally liable. I continue to hope that Hong Kongers will win the ability to determine their own destiny.
I think that Biden fairly won the election. I just think that it is a sad day when the USA who so used to embody the idea of "I disagree with what you say but will fight to my death for your right to say it," no longer embodies that idea. I disagree with what they were saying precisely because of the facts. It is weak politics to consider that that disagreement means deplatforming.
