    When the golden dream of fundamental shift in US political culture was brought crashing down by the success of Trump; the liberal/left lost their minds and the only thing that mattered was making sure Trump was toppled and his supporters canceled, by any means necessary.

    Assange was identified as undermining that project by his insistance on publishing material that indicated/proved that the Democrats were involved in massive crimes too and were tainted blood, violence and corruption.

    Liberal/left Democrats lurched to the right, especially in relation to freedom of speech, because this was price worth paying to keep Trump out. One was no longer interested in 'neutrality' but in promoting the truth about Trump, that he was a Russian spy representing evil incarnate.

    Bernie Sanders was an old school social democrat, who was, much like Corbyn, paralysed when he was accused of 'racism', that he talked too much about 'class issues' and not enough about 'gender and identity.'

    'Punishing the banks won't get rid of racism' was a great slogan invented by the Democrats and effectively castrated the threat from Sanders.

    Assange was caught up in the mass hysteria, a symbol of how dangerous freedom of speech was if it was tempered by moderation and the Truth.
