"It has been surprising to me that so few conservatives have voiced concern over the precedence that are being set in favor of suppression by this so-called conservative administration"

This quote by James Bovard expresses his surprise that few conservatives have actually spoken out against the actions of the current conservative administration. He is describing the administration's efforts to suppress certain groups and concepts, which he believes sets a dangerous precedent. He is concerned that these actions are not being challenged by other conservatives, which this might cause additional suppression of ideas and groups in the future. He believes that it is important for conservatives to speak up against these actions, as they are not in line with the values of conservatism. He is getting in touch with conservatives to take a stand versus the existing administration's attempts to suppress certain groups and concepts, and to ensure that these dangerous precedents are not set.
