The people in charge have been raised by and are surrounded by fake news. They are not capable of recognising fake news intuitively and do not have the intellectual capacity to figure it out on their own. They live in political bubbles with "studies" and "statistics" which are just as fake as whatever's on , but which come with the color of authority which will not be denied.
Anti-intellectualism is the root of the problem. As long as the people in charge are not required to know how to think, Every path is the wrong one. Paths which are ripe for abuse, such as this one, are all the more problematic not because of potential danger but because of inevitable failure.
As long as they control the rules, they'll eventually find a way to manipulate them to do any damned thing they please. No one is watching the watchers. Separation of power hasn't worked, transparency is impossible, and it can only get worse. Crony capitalism, like bureaucracies exists to perpetuate itself. It's a virus now, not a government. Everything is Not for the people and we are all doomed to despotic fascism or revolution.
I only recently got a broken screen for the first time, ever, when i let a repair shop replace one that "burned out" (i was high at the time and didn't care to mess with it myself even though it was probably just loose) and it happened in day two, without dropping it.
There must be an assumption of righteousness as a default for the government to be able to get business done, but courts exist specifically to quell that assumption in areas where it does not apply.
If half the government were replaced with a system of transparency, accountability, transparency, and oversight, we wouldn't need the half it replaced and we could start over with trust.
The Germans had a strong seat in Philadelphia, they could have influenced American politics to become Nazi in due time, had they not lost first.

That IS logically consistant. His "censorship" of them is to prevent them from censoring him. They began the fight. Whatever tools The Redskins need to defend themselves are appropos.
You just blatently replaced the entire point of the law, to prevent harm, with the rule of law, making you perhaps the most perfect example of pure evil ever to exist in this society.
