Currently only one party is trying to silence the other side and it isn't the Republicans. Before I would have considered myself a Democrat, but now I feel very alienated from a group who just seems to hate the country they want to control. It's not progress if it's at the price of freedom.

the other side

I thought they are silencing their own side.

If you aren't with them, you are against them and you must be silenced. It doesn't actually matter what political party you are.

Yes, but they spend more time being angry at left wing people who don't 100% toe the line, they don't really bother with the right.

No, I think it's just a more effective tactic against companies/individuals who are sympathetic to progressive values and who will buckle under social pressure because they don't want to be cast out as right wing.

Those who are openly on the right, and not concerned with offending the tribe are more immune to it.
