The Youtube algorithm kicked up an old video which I think shows some of what I'm talking about. It was when John McCain was running against Obama to be president of the US. McCain is at a rally and talking to people. He disagreed with some supporters and said that actually Obama is a decent man. Then the people at the rally booed him. I think some politicians listened to that (metaphorically speaking) and that is what they are responding to. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JIjenjANqAk
"If all mankind minus one, were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person, than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind."
