Please give specific examples of this happening :
"MAGAs preach “free speech for me, not for thee”, silencing everything from the other side."
There's a difference between Free Speech and Calls to Violence and Blatant Lies. Most recently Jimmy Kimmel was taken off air not by the Right but by Disney. Partly for his lies but mostly because his ratings were worse than Colberts. They also have a Broadcasting License which has strict rules on Blatant Misinformation because the airwaves are public.

By all reports, his ratings weren't bad. But regardless, the head of the FCC threatened ABC and any affiliates about airing Kimmel. The government stepped in. The FCC has been weaponized. It was similar pressure that got Colbert cancelled. Imagine how outraged the other side would have been if Obama had threatened Fox News.
You still didn't make any specific example of Magas calling for suppression of speech (which is what you wrote) which was my ONLY POINT. If anything Charlie Kirk and Crowder were willing to speak with anyone about anything and they were met with violence. Twitter & Facebook admitted to bowing to Government requests to censor anyone that held differing opinions from the left. Heck, I got my X account cancelled for saying "you can still get and spread Covid even if you had the shot", which we now know is 100% true.
