Even though Clinton and Obama weren't saints - and I have limited respect for both of them - you are going to have a really hard time finding behaviour on that scale on the liberal side.
You're also going to find much less evidence of either threatened or actual violence.
Even BLM at its worst has never come close to the appalling record of right-wing violence in the US over the last couple of decades.

So that's why liberals "lose" - we're far less likely to feel comfortable with lying, cheating, bullying, violence, and intimidation. And for a substantial percentage of right-wing supporters those seem to be considered admirable moral features, not bugs.
