The right wing vs. left wing nonsense needs to go...the accurate argument frames it as a continuum between totalitarianism and liberty.
The terms left wing and right wing sprang up as a way of defining competing branches of Socialism in Europe. They didn’t have much relevance for American politics until the Democratic Party became decidedly Socialist, imitating left wing Socialism in Europe. To this day there is no viable right wing equivalent in America, and it certainly isn’t going to come from conservatism, or the Republican Party. The left, politicians, educators and media throw the term right wing around because Democrats need it to smear any opposition to their radical leftism.
