Why aren’t we burning these places to the ground?

It’s not.
Except there are two things different here.
First, It’s Donald Trump. He is president. If he blocks people he is effectively censoring them. This is normally his prerogative, as almost anyone would agree, except that he is a part of our government, and he blurs the lines between personal and public use of his twitter account. The first amendment protects people from having their speech (among other things) infringed upon by government.
Second, It’s Donald Trump. Lets face it. If it was Obama, this wouldn’t be happening.
