Young Dems mirror the behaviour of Conservatives how exactly?

> They have problems with media and depictions that doesn't fit their worldview and don't favor free speech because it was a value by people that partially rejected their ideas.

This is completely missing the point of what the younger generation want. They don't have problems with media and their depictions. They tend to be more inclusive. They fight for people that haven't had a voice previously, or have been mistreated. What they have problems with is hate speech, not free speech.

A lot of people in that younger generation are one step before becoming Stormfront 2.0 because they despise the sensibilities of naive bubble accademics. Just as with minorities you should at least ask before effecting change in their names. They aren't inclusive, that is their brand. Same group dynamics apply to everyone.

I vote very liberal, but the only hate speech I have ever experienced has been from other liberals, primarily on twitter.

"It's true" isn't the bar for hate speech. Hate speech is the direct, explicit fomentation of hatred against groups that are particularly vulnerable to the possibility of that hatred manifesting. You can encourage hatred and also say something based on facts (barring semantic arguments, e.g. your example), and likewise you can express those same facts without expressing hatred.
