The political side that is the "correct" side.

Keep in mind I used to be an Ayn Rand inspired nutjob, barely 10 years ago. Card carrying NRA Life, which I have since quit. I used to have a permit to carry and I did. I don't even own a gun now. Back in the day I despised Bill Clinton and vowed I would die before voting for Hillary. Well....then came 2016. I voted for GWB - twice. I didn't vote for Obama either time. I think the US started down the path to fascism long before Trump (whom - predictably - I despise)

y values changed after I split from my first wife. Getting outside the right wing bubble really opened my eyes.
In terms of overall standard of living and happiness of the people, the right's ideas mostly suck.

I heard that Ian Hislop once said about the American political scene, "Well, you have the Democrats, who are right wing, the Republican party who are very very right wing, and the Tea Party, who are mad". I have a clip of him saying the last two thirds of that saying around 2:16:



I'm not sure if he actually called the Democrats right-wing, but I don't think he'd disagree with that statement, as a satirist or even as a European. Honestly, if Hilary Clinton was running for office in Britain, she'd probably have been considered the second coming of Thatcher. Unfortunately, since her opposition have a social policy that basically involves turning America into Gilead and a fiscal policy that involves fellating the wealthiest and most corrupt businessmen in the nation so they can make money in the short term and in the long term... well, I don't know, just hope the Second Coming happens so Christ can end us all.
