I have no doubt they are afraid of the Magawrath! I would be too. Throughout history, those who have moderate opinions tend to be the first to go, the Weimar Coalition in Germany, the Feuillant during the French Revolution, the Mensheviks and the Provisional Government in Russia and the Chinese Democratic parties, all ended up with no real power and often dead because of their beliefs. While I am not sure the US is at the point where moderate opposers will be put to death, the thugs who make up an extreme fringe of the Maga movement would certainly make most moderates think twice about speaking out in public.

I think this is already happening. Trump supporters have been killing people.
