What context? Do you not think that it's indicative of something if one side is willing to live with people who they disagree with and openly values free speech while the other is does neither?

Sure.

one side is willing to live with people who they disagree with and openly values free speech while the other is does neither

That's not what the survey asked.

All I said was:
- That survey doesn't say much on it's own.
- I think there are too many factors that go into it to be able to make a meaningful correlation. (Correlation between political beliefs and tolerance of other views)

If you have a roommate you live together with them. The survey has not asked anything about free speech but if the fact that most figureheads that are grouped together with the alt-right are free speech absolutist isn't sufficient evidence here's another source according to which republicans are more likely than democrats to support absolute free speech: https://youtu.be/rC2xU_efdzU?t=1623 / http://gss.norc.org

Are you aware that free-speech is traditionally a liberal value?
The prefix 'Liber' comes from the french word for freedom. It was the ideology of the founding fathers who inked the American free-speech right.
Most liberals over the age of 19 consider speech a basic human right. Many of us fought hard for it.
