Then there's also the question of anchoring, where sure the right wing people might seem overall more rational because of censorship (which I think is bullshit), but what happens if it just makes the moderate right person who isn't censored but on the far right of allowability becomes the extremist in public perception as a result, while the left wing person on the same level of deviation from center is seen as rational because the allowable left wing extremist is far more extreme.
It's called the shifting of the overton window. As the establishment media moved farther left. The window of acceptable mainstream views shifted with them. Now Classical Liberals are considered next to Conservatives.
The crazy thing is. The left think the opposite has happened. And that the classical liberals and conservatives have jumped to the far right, advocating genocide and a police state. They think the classical liberals and conservatives now communicate in dog whistles. "Donald Trump said fine people? Ha I knew it. He loves Hitler."
