This began on another thread. I am bringing it up here to avoid hijacking that topic.

Well of course it is difficult to impossible to prove a negative. How can anyone show that the threat of violence intimidated someone to be silent? If they make that claim publicly, then they have not been silenced. So there connnot actually be examples of violence enforcing silence.
Sean Hennety has been open about his felt need for a concealed ctry permit NYC for years, as well as the need to actively train in unarmed defense of his person. He has spoken about credible death threats on air. No, he has not been "silenced", but there do seem to be folks who would do him harm.
In the Houston area, talk radio host Michael Berry has the same exposure. He has established a private studio with security and his family lives in an undisclosed rural area with security . . . .all for a reason.
These are public figures with resources and a platform, both living in deep red states now. I can n to imagine anyone speaking stridently from the right, as they do , while living in Minneapolis or Settlr or . . .well you pick a major city run by Democrats.
Hennety, and Rush Limbaugh before him, cited high taxes as their reason for leaving New York. But lower profile folks and others, "just regular people", are also ast risk of violence for stating their beliefs.
The Democratic Party is no longer the party of Martin Luther King who brought the non-violent ideals of Ghandi to the Civil Rights Movement. The fact is that the left
endorses violence, even encourages it as a tactic to further one's agenda or point of view. The mayor of Cincinnati lpublically said that those folks deserved to be beaten. Leftists endorsed the killing of that insurance executive. The left actively supported BLM riots with money and logistics. Prominent Democrats openly espouse the use of violence in the furtherance of progressive goals.
