Move closer to any fringe, and certain ideas leave the realm of acceptability and must be censored.

Move too far towards any fringe, and the very possibility of other ideologies starts to vanish, except among enemies of the state.

When "liberalism" starts censoring or pushing towards a particular fringe, you're dealing with something else that stole the label.
