The Federalist Party made the same mistake. They thought they were being wise patriots when they passed the Sedition Acts.

This most likely pales in comparison, but it’s in the same spirit.

I would have been a Federalist rather than a Ye Olde Republican, but the Sedition act was an an unconstitutional and perfidious piece of legislation that helped destroy that party.
