    I did do for the same reasons. But I question if this speeds things up.

    If I was a big think tank charged with changing the public opinion to favor the right wing, my first thing I’d advise you to do was remove political opponents from the view of the general public.

    Then once the area has been cleared, it’ll be cheaper to flood the zone with messages and opinions and content that shapes public opinion you favor the view I want.

      I’m not sure why the downvote. This is a valid point, but it’s also their fault when they know other options exist. I can’t be blamed for choosing to exit a toxic atmosphere just because nobody else will, even after being told.
