Both the left and the right engage in suppression of free speech in different ways.

I mean when McCarthyism, Hoover’s FBI and COINTELPRO were repressing leftists left and right, sabotaging political campaigns and careers, this was considered a national security issue.

I mean, until Bernie Sanders, no politician openly called themselves a socialist. This is recent.

Are there any open atheists in US politics? Just curious
