They are seditionists, insurrectionists and white supremacists. They deserve excommunication, deplatforming, and reputational and financial ruin.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>CNN\u2019s intolerance tzar, Don Lemon, last week lumped in the 74\u2009million Americans who voted for Donald Trump with the Klu Klux Klan and Nazis.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>China-lovin\u2019 Rep. Eric Swalwell compared Trump to Osama bin Laden.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Corporate America is heeding the message.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Loews over the weekend caved into Twitter activists and canceled Republican Sen. Josh Hawley\u2019s fundraiser in one of its hotels in February. Simon and Schuster already had canceled Hawley\u2019s book contract after he voted to hold up certification of Joe Biden\u2019s victory.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Musician Ariel Pink had his recording contract canceled because he attended the Trump rally on Jan. 6, even though he says he did not march to the Capitol.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Business journal Forbes warned companies that hire former Trump officials such as Kayleigh McEnany or Kellyanne Conway that they will be blacklisted.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Twitter boss Jack Dorsey told his staff in a video leaked to Project Veritas that banning Trump was just the first step in his purge of Wrong Think. \u201cThis is much bigger than one account.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>None of this makes discourse safer. It just drives it underground, where it becomes more toxic.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But the aim is to dehumanize conservatives so that any cruelty can be inflicted on them and they are powerless to resist.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnity Joe\u201d Biden himself likened his political opponents, Sens. Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley, to Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels last week.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He has always played up his image as a consensus politician able to reach across the aisle. That vapor trail of comity is probably what propelled him to victory.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday, he will have the authority to make good on that promise. So far, it doesn\u2019t look promising.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>At least there was a small victory for free speech Sunday. Fledgling social-media platform Parler is back online a week after being closed down in a pincer movement by Amazon, Apple and Google.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pompeo_a_leader\"><\/span>Pompeo, a leader<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>One of the greatest achievements of the Trump administration was resetting foreign policy: reducing our reliance on China and recognizing its threat, neutralizing ISIS, extracting us from the Iran nuclear deal and establishing the Abraham Accords.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The unsung hero who made it all happen was Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who has been a stalwart defender of the America First philosophy without the bluster.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He has been making a flurry of announcements as the Trump era draws to a close, including calling out China\u2019s secrecy on the coronavirus.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Few Republicans are better placed to lead the post-Trump revival.\n            <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
