No doubt, in that situation that would be only rational. But would the actions of that person in power be, in your view, legitimate? That is to say, do you believe it is always a legitimate exercise of political power to deny free speech protections to those who disagree with the views of those in power?
Pretty much, yes they would be legitimate, except I wouldn't agree with them, and If I came into power (which wont happen anyway) I would just stop them existing as well.
I dont care whether its a democracy or dictatorship, so long as It supports my other beliefs.
