the case of the left through media/entertainment/academic culture in addition to being obvious on the right in politics w/ Trumpism etc. But it's all over the place, the article was cartoonishly myopic imo.

Gillebrand on abortion recently is an example politically. Maybe the author of the article wouldn't even call this illiberal given where he's coming from, but this isn't pluralism:

Democratic presidential contender Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) compared appointing judges who oppose abortion rights to supporting judicial nominees who hold racist views.

"I think there's some issues that have such moral clarity that we have as a society decided that the other side is not acceptable," Gillibrand said during an interview with the Des Moines Register on Tuesday

"Imagine saying that it's OK to appoint a judge who's racist, or anti-Semitic, or homophobic," she continued. "Asking someone to appoint someone who takes away basic human rights of any group of people in America ... I don't think those are political issues anymore."
