How could it be classified as "unfair criticism" if the political proposal has made a very specific mistake in this instance? Should we not criticise a mistake simply because they are to be considered infallible or should we point it out so that they can learn and correct it? (Assuming that they are acting in good faith)
Free speech and criticizing mistakes is great but there's already comments comparing Trump's US to Weimar's Germany..
It's a very concerning and valid comparison.
I holidayed in Munich a couple of years ago and the Holocaust museum has a very instructive section that details a lot of specifics around Hitler's rise to power. I'm certainly seeing the same pattern beginning to happen in the U.S. with the "othering" of certain people and the clamping down on certain opinions/political leanings.
Are you suggesting that it's not a valid comparison, or that it's not safe to speak out against the administration?
