I think a switch was flipped post attempt and a lot of the rhetoric I am seeing from the right is that cancel culture is merely the start and in response to what the left actively say on public forums about the right (see Destiny's rhetoric about the right and in particular, Trump supporters) therefore anything is now fair game, the left is seen as a grave threat and the right must be first to beat them to it. A spiral down into a (hopefully not literal) arms race. Considering we are now post what happened to Trump. An intense anger that has been bottled up and brewing has now been released since that attempt was made. There's no going back from this.
