> People censoring themselves is the problem?
Yes. For example, very few people in SV can openly say they are going to vote for Trump.
> the larger the audience and concurrency of engagement, the less people censor the them selves
Yes, people don't censor themselves when they are in majority. For example, those who live in SV, and support gay marriage and BLM, they can throw insults without repercussions.
If you want respect don't admit to supporting bigotry.
The weird thing is that up and down this thread, you can get the feeling that people are bigots, but they feel "oppressed" because they can't openly state those feelings in the public square or at work.
Lack of empathy is expected from people defending mob justice.
Also, not accepting that people consider Trump a better presidental candidate is bigotry exactly, by definition from the dictionary.
The fun fact about the word "bigotry" is that people who use "bigotry" as insults are very often bigots themselves.
Cool, let's rephrase. If you want respect don't admit to being prejudiced against the way people are born. Being prejudiced against choices people make is completely fine.

Because Trump supported white supremacists? Because Trump has a proven history of treating women like objects? And these are not allowed ps of the tongue, these were systematically repeated sentiments. If you choose to support him, you support these things as well.
