What I find “curious” is that up until about 2:00 - 2:30am EDT this morning, there more than 11,050 replies to the post you reference. I would say a bit of “purging” went on...but then, I guess that would make me a “right wing conspiracy theorist”...
Being a right wing conspiracy theorist just makes you two steps ahead of the crowd. Wear the label with pride. The dark days of expectations of political correctness I think are drawing to a close.
