How is saying Trump won the election an act of political dissent? Trump was president!

The overton window has shifted so far on this site that saying "I don't like this person" is grounds for starting a whole debate about cancellation! Y'all are absolutely out of control

People are allowed to not like other people. Sorry if people you like aren't liked by other people

It's obviously an excuse for suppression.

The premise is "A is being suppressed. The response is 'I don't like A.'" Do you think that is a valuable insight? Is that useful received wisdom?

There is strong of evidence that introduction of reactionary 'feeling' consideration acts as a countervailing force to analysis.
