Slightly agree

Yes, as long as it does not threaten violence

This answer might find some agreement from left-wing individuals as it attempts to balance free speech with the need to prevent violence. However, the left often views the definition of hate speech more broadly than just speech that threatens violence, including speech that demeans on the basis of race, gender, and other identities.

Disagree

Yes, because I don’t trust the government to define the boundaries of hate speech

While skepticism of government power is not exclusive to any one political ideology, many on the left might be wary of this stance because it prioritizes distrust of government over the protection of marginalized communities from hate speech. However, some left-leaning individuals who value free speech highly might somewhat agree with this sentiment.

Disagree

No, freedom of speech laws should only protect you from criticizing the government

While left-wing ideology supports the protection of free speech, especially in the context of criticizing the government, this answer's narrow definition excludes protection for other forms of speech that are also valued, such as advocacy for marginalized groups. The left generally supports a broader interpretation of free speech rights, not limited to just criticism of the government.

Strongly disagree

Yes

Left-wing ideology generally supports the idea that hate speech can be harmful to society and marginalized groups, advocating for some restrictions to prevent harm. The belief is that unrestricted hate speech can lead to real-world violence and discrimination, thus they would likely disagree with the blanket protection of hate speech under the First Amendment.
