The problem with that is the act of suppression is also political. Which speech do you allow and which speech do you suppress? Ironically suppression ends up making a bigger political statement than giving free reign

Bah, not when it's being done by private actors and through generally accepted cultural norms...the price of too much political speech is being born today thorough our coarse, overly-politicized, hyper-partisan environment. The problem with our environment is that the norms have evolved in favor of activist culture - and much of it is being done so the woke and Maga hustlers can cash in on it. And what we have is this horrible, polarized mess. It's time to go back to reinforcing norms that push politics back to the back burner - where it belongs.
