Corsi, it really reads like you 'both sides'-d the argument. And I think its fair to ask for counter examples.

He didn’t, not in the way Mathgod is positioning it.
Both sides DO run campaigns based on fear, that’s a “both sides” that’s true, so the hypocrisy is either side (or a supporter of either side) positioning themselves against a fear-based campaign.
If Side A says “Trans people are a danger to society, they must be stopped! We will stop it, vote for us!”
And Side B says “Campaigning on fear is ridiculous and I am against it. And also, climate change is a serious threat to our world and must be stopped! We will stop it, vote for us!”
Side B is a hypocrite. It doesn’t matter that Side B’s concern is valid and side A’s isn’t, because the hypocrisy comes from the approach, not the content.
You can’t be against “fear mongering” as a concept while ringing alarm bells (fear mongering) about climate change and fascism.
