The difference here is that extremists on the left have no political power. There are almost no major politicians calling for rioting from what I've seen. Heck, the farthest federally elected officials on the left in this country would be moderates throughout most of Europe.
On the other hand, most Republicans do not support democratic elections anymore. Most support January 6th terrorists and have called for their release or referred to them as political prisoners.
You are comparing a few fringe characters on one side with no political power to a position held by over 30% of all Americans. A group that holds immense power over states, federal government, and the courts.
