The problem here is that the term “right” just doesn’t apply in America, and never has.
The terms right-wing and left-wing go all the way back to the French Revolution. Leftists were opponents of the Old Regime and ardent supporters of Voltaire and Rousseau. Rightists were supporters of the Old Regime of Crown and Church.
These distinctions, with considerable evolution, have continued to this day in European politics. The Nazis were a perverted blend of leftist and rightist ideologies, so it isn’t really accurate to call them either one.
The problem is that America has never had a Right that had anything in common with the European Right. Crown and Church, blood and soil just never made it across the Atlantic. Closest we came, IMO, were the secessionists and Jim Crow boys.
In today’s world, the American Right means dedication to the principles of the American Revolution, which was essentially those of the English Whigs. An updated “aristocratic freedom,” with more and more people over time counted among the aristocrats who had a right to freedom.
There was no equivalent of this ideology in the French Revolution, as the Crown had utterly destroyed the French version in the previous two centuries. Therefore “Right” is a term with no meaning in the American context.
American leftists, of course, abandoned anything peculiarly American over 100 years ago and have since been wannabees of European leftism.
“The problem here is that the term ‘right’ just doesnt apply in America, and never has.”
That is an interesting theory. Check out my disclaimer at #1.
