IMO boiling down the complexity of politics to a single axis is deceptive. Sure it makes it easy to find yourself on the map, but it really lends itself to a narrative of "ok here's US on the map. Over there is THEM."

IMO authoritarianism is totally orthogonal to right/left. It's clearly the case that members of both espouse changes that would limit our freedoms.

Right now I see plenty of examples on the left. Especially physically preventing speakers at right-wing events.

But I do not see the same kind of stuff from the right.

I'm not saying its always like this, but right now, this is how it is.

I mean give me an example where someone's free speech on the left was prevented?
