That expectations on liberals are typically much much higher. First, people will blame liberals for not being super perfectly uber polite. Then they turn around and accept atrocious behavior on the conservative side with a word of complaint.

Second, while liberal politicians share blame for every online asshole who is liberal, conservative online assholes are excused and their politicians never share blame for that. Even when actual conservative representatives act rudely, someone will point out both are the same, because some liberal online troll something.

Third, very consistently, bad or stupid behavior on the republican side is claimed to be fault of liberals who made them do it. It is always backslash and conservatives are not to blame for their own behavior. I never seen reversed claim. If an SJW feminist do something wrong, it is never "backslash" to misogyny or bad behavior on the conservative side.
