This is the same type of rationalization that the GOP used to have about their own right flank.... until the Frankenstein monster grew and devoured the party.

Except, the equivalent from back then repudiating it would have been filled with quotes from outsiders while the GOP circled the wagons. The one up there is all Democrats. You might find the response inadequate, but it's simply not the case that anyone is ignoring this.
Okay, but here are a bunch of people in the comments section of a centrist publication telling everyone to chillax, it isn't that many people, and offering what really seem to me to be wishful narratives on how "it really isn't that many people" or "this is just a bunch of kids on campus who are misguided." Sort of seems like there are some wagons of denial making at least a semi-circle to me.
I think the difference is that there was a whole right-wing infrastructure feeding the monster. And it wasn't just Fox, Limbaugh, and the rest of talk radio. Many of the Republican party leaders used dog whistle appeals to the people they now fear.
There isn't the same thing on the left. MSNBC and CNN aren't Fox. There is no left-wing talk radio. And Democratic party leaders have renounced those supporting or excusing Hamas. And not in the "nudge, nudge, wink, wink" fashion popular on the right.
MSNBC has hosts which are non-stop supporting lies fed by Hamas. Look at the hospital coverage.
The far pro-genocide left has strong support from Russia, the Saudis, and Iran. There is a funded infrastructure for pro-genocide student groups "for Palestine".

Certainly not the Dem political class.

This is not the same rationalization as the GOP!
