The right doesn't fight because they have no organization. No mass apparatus to ensure the boogaloo kicks off in every city at the same time like we saw with the peaceful looting last summer.
En masse, the right could probably successfully pull off a revolution, but there is no body to give the signal. Everybody is scared to be the first one to fire. Because if it doesn't kick off then, they're going away forever and their family is going to be ruined. Basically shit has to get to the point where it's untenable for the average Joe to live life, and we're not there yet. Boomers are starting to fedpost irl in water cooler conversations though which is a potential good sign.
Also the people who would most strongly fight back would be people on the right.
After Trump says a bunch of "If we let this fraud stand we don't have a country" rhetoric, January 6 upon his request a bunch of people go to the Capitol to show their support for Trump. Things get out of hand, and Trump himself orders the Guard to clean house and throws the book at them. Only now, 6 months after he's safely out of office and unable to actually do anything, does he comment that maybe his imprisoned supporters shouldn't be treated as severely as they are.
Sane people don't fight wars when they're afraid their own Generals are going to be the ones ordering the kill shot.
