stop creating a boogie-man to scare the population in order for you to get your jollies watching them jump....
I have come to prefer referring to this issue as:
obedience to the_Party ; this is what the subjects of communist regimes have said throughout history. I prefer to map current events to proper, existing terminology.
It's all about the_Party.
Communist govs have politics and political parties also. The_Party is often the only party. Or it dominates any other parties with power.
The_Party is the Democratic_Party. It's subjects all do as the_Party says to do. Those subject include most of DC, nearly all of the _news_, lots of big tech.
