Seems to me, calling the GOP the Right Wing contributes to their delusions of grandeur and self-righteousness. The fact it’s only supposed to be “sitting on the right-hand side of the room” is lost in deliberate ignorance. Looking for a more accurate label.

Since other countries have their own versions of a Right Wing, ranging from something equivalent to the US Democratic Party to full-on fascism, y’all are welcome to weigh in on those as well.
