It does not serve progressives and economic populists well to cheer the de-platforming of controversial right-wingers. It serves to increase polarization and it poisons the well. We should all support the freedom of speech for our political enemies, and educate ourselves well enough to embarrass the right in the marketplace of ideas, the public square. This is an easy task, because right wing positions are utter dog shit and typically not supported by any evidence or data.
In the end, supporting restrictions on individual liberty serves the elite and the corporations. Don't give in and support this just to score cheap points on the board.
