Regardless, the terms left and right wing have no real bearing on the political process of America
Perhaps the only way the term “right wing” would come into play is if there were a large movement to reunite the USA with the British Crown.

After all, the original “right wing” in France were feudal royalists who were willing to act as a rubber stamp for the monarch and were also against religious freedom while upholding a state church. (Funny how the left wing is much the same, although with atheism as the state “religion” and the Party in place of the monarchy . . .)

Even at the time the “Left wing” was made up of authoritarian mercantilist/Gramscians who simply wanted power for themselves. Their violent revolution and the “redistribution of wealth” that went on demonstrates that they were not concerned with liberty as anything other than a catch phrase.
