against Trump's 1st amendment attacks. The uproar over Kimmel's suspension that caused Disney Plus subscribers to cancel their accounts in droves is what began to turn the tide. Also, Trump's poll numbers are now in the toilet and sinking fast which is an additional help. Had the effort to silence Colbert happened this year instead of last year, I think the outcome would've been very different.
