1. Do you remember Trump badgered his supporters to be vigilant about voter fraud during his campaign? The only person caught voting twice was a Trump supporter. She wanted to "test the system." I suspect they encourage the paranoia on purpose.

2. I've worked at tech companies for almost a decade. The only right wing view I've seen suppressed is "defense of traditional marriage." It's 2017. I think we all know what that means.

Of course they do. Fear is a great motivator to both parties.

So obviously it happens. Like I said, Bannon's fears aren't unfounded.

Well if views are effectively suppressed then you won't hear them.

I've heard people talk about abortion is baby killing and Obama being a Muslim out loud. Weren't suppressed.
