You're seeing the dial hit 0.8. Conservatives have a digital choice, 0 or 1. Leftists have an analog one; they can crank the violence and aggression up or down.
The Right has Mr. Rogers and Mr. Rwanda.
The Left can throw bricks with a smile on, and burn down your house and business and claim it's peaceful.
Basically. Political activism on the Right is a flip switch and it defaults to "get out and vote". The other mode...well last time it got to that point a federal building went boom and things actually deescalated somewhat after that. Still have the problem of the FBI creating a terrorist cell it then arrests to make themselves look good (see the Bundy's or more recently this whole Whitmer kidnapping thing), but they stopped executing women and children.

Given their history, I think it might be more accurate to say that they haven't done it recently.
