Why is this? Because the Western Right's outgroup is people who aren't Westerners. BUT the Western Left's outgroup is the Right. This is the best explanation I've ever heard at this link. A bit long but worth reading every word because it answers SO many questions.

The Left has successfully dehumanized right wingers and suspected right wingers and turned them into a threatening “other” to be eradicated by any means available. As such, they do not deserve legal protections, rehabilitation, or empathy.
