Dude just stop lying, promoting violence, and being racist....it isn't that hard. If it's required to lie and/or be racist and/or promote violence to be conservative, then the movement deserves to be destroyed.
What is considered the truth, what is considered racism and what is considered promoting violence are all things that should not be decided by people from the Silicon Valley bubble who are way out of step with the rest of the country on a wiiiide range of issues. Like I said: democracy crucially hinges on how public opinion is formed. If people with outsized influence on how people perceive the world and current events abuse their power to push a radical political agenda and silence dissenters, democracy is deformed.

People who don't engage in those things aren't censored.

Nope. Because those things aren't usually accomplished on the federal level by legislative action.
But the argument then still applies to Senate and House races, doesn't it? How many ads from democratic candidates do we get each cycle in which they oppose their Republican opponent of being a threat to exactly these things? According to you, that would all be a lie. And according to your logic, it would also be meaningless whether a GOP seat is occupied by a Cheney/Kinzinger-type or by an MTG-type.
