Obviously you can find folks in both camps that oppose the extreme-PC culture they've created on campuses...
However, if far-left collegiate kids are encroaching on free speech, it's normal to expect conservative voices to be the ones to come forward and say "hang on there kid, put the breaks on...you can't dictate what other people can and can't say based on your own personal preferences"
The issue is, the conservative voices that are saying that to them, are the same conservative voices that just got done crying about how a happy holidays sign is a "war on Christmas"...and the same ones that gleefully dragged the previous president through the mud with all kinds of nasty comments because "it's my right to free speech to criticize the president", but then complain incessantly about people poking fun at Trump and say "you know, even though your side lost, you need to support our president"
That's not really what's going on though. Sure, there's social conservatives who are agreeing with the outcry, but it isn't simply partisan politics. Look at the likes of "Gamergate," "Comicgate" and the "Puppy Saga." Look at the slump Hollywood, etc. is in. There's an ever growing group of the American population that is tired of identity politics, censorship, and demonizing people who disagree with you.
