People never stand up against totalitarian regimes, those regimes rot from the inside and eventually fall to coups. 

Most coups are dressed as revolutions, but they aren't. They never are. There is no power in the unorganized masses.

The sheep could all band together and trample the dog but they never do. They never will.

If you want to go after those in power, you need to orchestrate power of your own. Presumably your vote matters, so what better way to influence that vote than changing people's minds. 

You can't do that if you get de-platformed and fired over it.
