First, the left has zero credibility with which to ask anyone to trust them not to abuse this new power. From attempting to kill the filibuster to trying to pack the scotus, it's become obvious power is all that matters and the ends justifies the means.
Second, the Ministry of Truth only came to be after Musk successfully bought Twitter, a move that was itself a massive reaction to leftist censorship run amok. So of COURSE everyone sees this as a move against what Musk did which would make it pro-leftist censorship.
All the "Hey, relax, they won't abuse this new power! We pinky swear" in the world won't buy that credibility back.
What new power are we talking about again, specifically?
The power to deem anything they like as "wrong speak" and respond as they wish.
So they can burn your books if they wish? Throw you in prison?
Or turn off your power, bar you from air travel, ruin your credit, shutdown down your business by denying licenses, bar you from internet use, fine you or put you in jail.
Our vibrations were getting nasty. But why? I was puzzled, frustrated... Had we deteriorated to the level of dumb beasts?
