One "side" executes more more violence than the other. One "side" has more power than the other. One "side" can deescalate the threat of violence "on both sides" but chooses not to. One "side" willfully stokes violence. "Both sides" are not equally at fault.
Violence is bad. Political violence is bad. There are instances of political violence "on both sides."

"On both sides" is a false-equivalence wrt threats and reality. But it's effective propaganda. Risk assessment is subjective, and in contemporary America -- where the President deliberately lies to obliterate shared perspectives -- the reweighing collapses to proof by existence.
