I hear you, but it won't play out like that. The political class will use it as an excuse to start arresting one another over policy disagreements and it will bleed out to the public. People already advocate for censoring and removing people that voice opinions they disagree with. Right now that contingent is largely on the left wing of American politics. To arrest left wing politicians over a policy dispute will only justify crackdowns on the right by the left. Because we have to stop the tyrants before they throw us all in jail. The left has no base in principle and such an outcome could easily happen, if not celebrated.
The right's grip on principle is tenuous at best, but they should be able to see an obvious trap when it is laid out before them on a golden platter.
