Very simple reason: right-wingers are mostly just cowards. Most right-wingers arent actually conservatives in any intellectual or ideological sense. Theyre just what leftists hate in conservatives: cowards who are afraid of any kind of change. But these "conservatives" are also the enemy of true intellectual conservatives who arent conservative just for the sake of avoiding change. Many leftists belong to this type of conservatives, too. It's the Romneys, the Merkels, the Boris Johnsons. They just try to conserve any state of affairs that has come to be no matter how it came to be and no matter if it is a good state of affairs that deserves to be conserved. Theyre just cowards. They have no intellectual power, no strategic talent, no balls, no brains. They rule by fear, their own fear, and by spreading fear. And they hate any true conservative, any true intellectual, and any kind of hero who does the right thing when it counts because it is the right thing.

The COVID crisis has spread the wheat from the chaff. Here in Germany it is some of the hard leftists of all people who have shown true courage, intellect, and even heroism, while almost all "conservatives" have completely given themselves up to the reign of terror.
