You are really going to try and say right wingers aren't amplified on twitter? I literally have an account that just follows gaming accounts and I was having to block people throwing out slurs daily

FWIW, they see it - but interpret it as "Twitter being less biased" now, because from their POv, Twitter had a pro-liberal bias before Musk, and is now trending towards what they consider neutral.
rabidly anti-semitic is not "neutral".

Maybe you're just biased against normal people? According to the last election, most Americans support Trump. You'd expect a certain percent of the general population to be somewhat right-wing and maybe even rudely so - it's not the early 1990s when only people access to the university mainframe that could get online. Since mobile browsers became popular (around 2010?) being able to type with two thumbs is the only real requirement to comment online.
Hearing gamers swear profusely on a daily basis is the experience of anyone who plays a game with chat.
