The “right” isn’t a single voice. Many voices did not cheer it but called it for what it was: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/ted-cruz-fcc-brendan-carr-jimmy-kimmel-threat-free-speech-rcna232496 https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/ted-cruz-fcc-brend... The left is not a single voice. A few dangerous voices cheered assasinations while many decried it for what it was.

> The “right” isn’t a single voice. I disagree. Trump, IMO, has been a cult-like leader for the GOP since 2016. And he even called for more networks to lose their licenses over "dishonesty" after this incident[0]. Not to mention the multitude of scandals that we've seen like: law firm security clearance revocation as retribution for supporting Trump's opponents, deporting legal residents over their protest against Israel, and various lawsuits he's engaged in as President against media corporations, pollsters, etc.. who disfavour him[1]. > Many voices did not cheer it but called it for what it was "many" is Tucker Carlson and Ted Cruz? To my knowledge, they haven't called out Trump specifically for attacks on the First Amendment, only Brendan Carr. That's fine and dandy, but no one on the right seems willing to take the plunge for some reason on the huge array of issues that cropped up before this FCC threat against ABC. 0: https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5514110-trump-network-license-dishonesty/ https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5514110-trump-ne... 1: https://www.ibanet.org/Trumps-assault-on-the-First-Amendment https://www.ibanet.org/Trumps-assault-on-the-First-Amendment

  I think rank and file folks are waking up a bit. Things are hard in the economy and tgey are seeing their moms, aunts, sisters, and daughters get impacted by reductions to women's healthcare.

    I don't think so at all. I think some are waking up to the fact that Trump is becoming a liability and that his time is limited. They're preparing to shift to someone else who is just as bad, if not worse, such as Vance.
