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".
