- "Sometimes the very young do not do as they are told".
This is a universal truth (ask the Nox
The very young generally dont play by the rules and so believe that violence is an acceptable way to achieve goals. With most rightwing movements being older and "wiser", they are generally not using violence to achieve goals in free countries, because the use of voilence to force your views on someone else, is contratry to the concept of personal freedom, which is the central part of the rights ideology. So there is rarely much to fight for, via violent means. Exceptions being war on opposing ideologies, like Korea, Vietnam, WW2 and Afghanistan being the more known ones.
Look at fascisim, communism, nazism, bonapartism, and I could go on. All left wing movements who are/were willing to use violence to achieve or consolidate their power.
I suppose that's why so many rightwingers are/were distancing themselves from Trump, because they feared that he would use force to achieve goals.
And, ironically, as You are saying there are a lot of people more fearful of the violence that the leftwing brings, than the harsh criticism the rightwing brings, and therefore sell out on those freedoms.
