      Trying to silence discussion of politics is itself a tacit endorsement of the status quo.

        I think Jonny’s comment was about the Trump reference in an article about a British man human trafficking women in Romania. No one is trying to silence discussion

        True, but Trump is only tangentially related to Tate. If the discussion went further comparing their followers, that would be on topic.

          It’s a single line at the end making light of their similarities. He wasn’t trying to make this website all about American politics as suggested.
