I think hides should be reserved for people deliberately attacking Dems, not actual criticism, like disagreeing with what they're saying. The reason we cannot is that there is a contingent that seeks to silence.

I think the post is an expression of the frustration of those who are tired of these separate standards, which don't reflect the majority's views. People are hearing what's being said and are not happy about it, even those who count themselves as supporters. It's a reaction to the sudden toxic environment here that has erupted in the past two weeks.
