Remember, those conspiracy theories about Obama and Biden only came about because the right so desperately wants to do the same to the people they hate and fear.
The idea that the left has exactly the same genocidal impulses as them is absolutely necessary to their psychological wellbeing. They have to believe that their hatred is normal. If they accept that they are the abberations, then they are forced to confront the moral consequences of their beliefs.
It's the same reason why they deride empathy, and dismiss genuine concern for others wellbeing as "virtue signaling." It is so important to them to believe that cruelty is a foundational component of human existence, rather than a symptom of how deeply unwell they are.
