And I also notice that when I ask here on HN a critical question about the Democrats, I get flagged and downvoted. And if I ask a critical question about the Republicans, I get answers like "obviously".

When I ask the same questions in a more Republican focussed community, it's interestingly not the opposite. The Republicans don't seem to censor people that are critical about them, but they rather respond to it in a mature and factual way. I find that interesting.
