      The position people tend to see as “criticized” is that which they directly or indirectly get from the Press, and the Press is bought and paid for and has been working as a Propaganda arm of a subset of the population rather than as Journalists, for decades.

      IMHO, the Consent for “Billionaire openly making a Nazi salute during Presidential Inauguration of Far-Right populist multi-millionaire” has been Manufactured and the acceptance of this by many and feeling of impotence about it by many others was never the product of natural Tolerance.

      PS: In fact, the very events on the article the OP posted - that somebody in a public-facing position in the Press was fired for being a dissenting voice - give weight to the point I’m making.
