@taylorlorenz calling it a witch hunt seems to misidentify the issue.
Generally, witch hunts wrap people up in searches for evils that are only imagined, not real. The problem is, in this case it sounds like they're intentionally going after people who say the wrong things.
In other words, the problem is that instead of this being tragic collateral damage, this is the stuff they're intentionally choosing to target.
It requires a different response.
