You are free to find other sources, the facts remain the same. I can't talk about (these) political parties without being banned.

If you really think that the guy deserves an unjust sentence for being right-wing, then I'm afraid of people like you. That is exactly what this argument was about: Political opposition being silenced.

I'm not afraid of right wing people, I just despite right wing extremists. I don't have to look for any sources, you have to convinve me if anything. People rightfully get just sentences for following a party focused on the very same politics that plunged Europe into a second world war.
So you do want to punish people for simply being the (democratically elected) political opposition, hence proving my point. I think I'll run the other way now.
The political opposition was not democratically elected. They were elected by the rules--well, modulo foreign interference by their handlers--but that doesn't make it democratic and doesn't make it right and only serves to underline the stranglehold a vocally threatening minority holds on the system.

This is a recurring theme for the right wing in America. There's little reason to respect or trust their good intentions; fascists are an autoimmune disease of liberalism and they are demonstrating nearly every symptom.
