Periodic self-repetition: I'm extremely tired of people saying "you can't say bad things about [US] red states because good people live there too."
When Hitler was coming to power, did people say "You can't say bad things about Nazi Germany because Jews live there too?"
After the war, did they say "You can't say anything bad about the German people because a few people opposed the Holocaust?"
No.
