That's part of their new rules: "Tweets from politicians or with a high level engagement that are labeled for containing election or Covid-19 misinformation will now have additional safeguards, as users will be able to quote tweet the flagged post to share it with added context, but cannot like, retweet or reply to it."
"Law and Order", lots of places have had that, Russia, North Korea, Saddam's Iraq.
Laws can be made to enforce order of cruelty and brutality.
Equality and Justice, that is how you have peace and a society that benefits all.

"If you are ever asking yourself 'Is Trump lying or is he stupid?', the answer is most likely C: All of the Above" - Seth Meyers
What you said is fantasy because it has no adherence to reality.
The people you comment on are not terrorism/new civil war apologists, they're just worried and warning about it.
Also they don't talk about "opposing neo-nazis and right-wing extremists", but about opposing the right with violence, which is what the radical left is doing. Naturally if you normalize violence you can't expect that only the left will be the one wielding it.
And that last line about "you have to do what they want, or else" was completely fabricated by you.
If not fantasy, you're just merely and simply lying through your teeth.
Not to name and shame, but because it's relevant go and look at any of the threads started by kokolums on this matter. They're ALL "America is on the verge of a civil war, if the democrats ever win the right wing will split away and be violent, the left needed to move more to the right and do what the right wing wants or the right will be violent."
As far as violence, right wing violence has been and continues to be a far greater problem in the United States than left wing violence. Simple numbers bear this out as being true. For every trash can tipped over by BLM or Antifa or whoever, there's a right-wing plot to kidnap a governor or a right-wing loon plowing his car into a group of protestors or shooting up a jewish temple. And I'm sorry, but property damage is not even remotely equatable to violence and murder propagated against actual people.
And as far as defeating the nazis... "hearing them out" and "trying to meet them halfway" lead to the holocaust. The only way you get rid of Nazis is by opposing them at every turn as vocally and unequivocally as possible. Why do you think they've hit a resurgence under Trump? Because he refuses to condemn them. It gives them space for legitimacy.

Why should I care about a single rando on a forum?
The people warning about a possible civil war are media, celebrities and other famous and or professional people, and none of them are "apologists" for that or spouting ridiculous bs like that "or else" drivel.
That's pure fantasy.
The NYTimes reports a list of 200 businesses that contributed directly to Trump businesses, and then by an interesting coincidence, got what they wanted from the White House.
Yes, some of that came from Trump's taxes.
The article goes on and on, as the swamp Trump has built has great depth. Trump never divested. He handed control over to his sons, told them how to run things, and got updates constantly. And the money handed to him as a result dwarfs what he gave away in his paycheck -- not even counting what American taxpayers paid for Trump to go golfing. On his own properties. Of special note, religious groups booked more events at Trump properties than any single industry -- energy was second. Billy Graham's association, in particular, paid $400,000 (or "one President's salary) in 2017 alone. Christiam Broadcasting Network? $170,000 in 2018/2019.Patrons at the properties ranged widely: foreign politicians and Florida sugar barons, a Chinese billionaire and a Serbian prince, clean-energy enthusiasts and their adversaries in the petroleum industry, avowed small-government activists and contractors seeking billions from ever-fattening federal budgets. Mr. Trump’s administration delivered them funding and laws and land. He handed them appointments to task forces and ambassadorships, victories as weighty as a presidential directive and as ephemeral as a presidential tweet.
Some of Mr. Trump’s patrons lost out to better-favored interests, to the chaos of his White House or to the president’s own fleeting attention span. Others are still pushing for last-minute victories. Many said in interviews that any favorable outcome from the administration was incidental to their patronage.
But whether they won or lost, Mr. Trump benefited financially. They paid his family business for golf outings and steak dinners, for huge corporate retreats and black-tie galas.
More than 70 advocacy groups, businesses and foreign governments threw events at the president’s properties that were previously held elsewhere, or created new events that drove dollars into Mr. Trump’s business. Religious organizations did both, booking more than two dozen prayer meetings, banquets and tours, capitalizing on the president’s popularity with white evangelicals to bolster their own fund-raising and clout. Until the pandemic, one well-connected lawyer hosted a monthly mixer, known as Trump First Tuesdays, attended by the president’s acolytes.
Donors even paid for the privilege of giving money to his campaign and super PAC. Mr. Trump attended 34 fund-raisers held at his hotels and resorts, events that brought his properties another $3 million in revenue. Sometimes, he lined up his donors to ask what they needed from the government.
Others could catch him at the Trump International Hotel in Washington, where he liked to dine at the steakhouse — often served by a restaurant manager — or on weekends at Mar-a-Lago, where he liked to make an appearance at the day’s big event.
Chances were good he’d be around. The president has visited his resorts and hotels on nearly 400 days since his inauguration, according to a tally kept by The Times.
There were, of course, foreign governments and foreign businesses. Which would normally be illegal.
The right wing has been acting violently towards the entire country since the Reagan presidency so any people pushing the "the left wing are instigating the current chaos" line are just telegraphing they don't know very much about American history.
Or they do, and they're lying about it to buttress the status quo. Shocker.
