Maybe a closer variant would be a Democratic POTUS trying to argue that conservatives unabashed support for police justifies a greater expansion of state policing powers. But it doesn't quite feel right as an analogy because supporting police powers has generally been the status quo no matter the prevailing party. Whereas the leftist purported push to censor or bully speech doesn't feel anywhere near an entrenched status quo, even if you really think Twitter is real life.
