This is in fact incorrect: the right doesn't say corrupt government is the problem The right says trans kids and brown people are the problem. Because the right is dumb as a fucking brick, and the billionaires managed to brainwash the dumb right into hating someone other than themselves.

...who was voted in based on a single issue campaign. The anti-abortion-access movement convinced their flock that abortions were literally as bad as killing babies, and Falwell successfully created a voting block based on that one issue. That base didn't realize it came with massive deregulation, and they weren't smart or knowledgeable enough to care.
Reagan was the beginning of the end. I was fourteen when he was elected.
It's an issue with definitions. When the right says the government is corrupt, they mean socially corrupt. When the left talks about the corrupt, they mean fiscally corrupt.
No, the right is also morally and legally corrupt.
My favourite logical fallacy is this: big, democratic government having control is bad, there's too little oversight and too much corruption. Therefore, it is better if a billionaire, who rules autocratically without any oversight, is better.
As long as it's their autocrat, yes.
The right thinks that people are socially corrupt. Not the government. They think the government shouldn't enable that corruption. But when it comes down to it, they hate people. They don't hate institutions.
The right wanting to eradicate minorities has nothing to do with fiscal corruption. It's just pure evil.
I am declaring war on fat, gay kids.
Finally! A new angle!
The "right" isn't a monolith anymore than the "left".
While it manifests in different ways the American "left" has been just as willing and happy to sacrifice brown, trans, woman, etc. persons because they are equally dumb and brainwashed.
"If we don't let Israel burn down Gaza we might lose votes and if we lose votes then Trump will win and if Trump wins then it's your fault when minorities are hurt."
Look what you made me do!!
We are literally caught between two political parties which are both using different styles of psychological abuse to get our votes.
Liberals are center-right at best, the US has no left
