It's not a both sides are equally bad thing, it's the fact that the left seems to becoming less and less inclined to accept its faults because the right is worse.

I agree the right is a serious threat to the country, but something like 25 people died in the George Floyd protests. Plus you had somewhere in the neighborhood of $1-2 billion in damages, which some want to write off as not a big deal because insurance companies foot the bill. However, the economic damage to communities carries on for years. LA was estimated to suffer around $4 billion in economic decline in the years after the '92 riots.
