The far-left fights ideas it does not like with censorship and cancellation. The far-right is more aggressive at defending their beliefs. One says you must be silenced, the other says come at me bro.

Drag story hour is speech. Far right activists have been showing up and physically assaulting people to silence them, moderate right politicians are trying to pass laws against them or simply defund libraries to silence the speech they find repugnant. So called bastions of free speech: Gab, Parler, Truth: they all silence anything to the left of their worldview.
What percentage of Republicans physically assault people to silence them?
I don't think it's possible to give a useful answer beyond "some"
Weird question, what's the point?

What percentage does it take for you to consider it a problem?

Drag story hour is involving children in your fetish.
BS. Far right is both openly pro censorship and also works hard at silencing opposition.

They also complained about being treated unfairly even when they are given much more leeway then their opposition

4chan is considered "far right" because they don't censor speech
Yeah, and the blatant antisemitism there has nothing to do with it.
That and right wing shooters originating and radicalizing in there.
