Tbf, there's no "right" anymore in the USA - it got eaten up, vomited back out, re-eaten again, with that process repeated a few times, and is now known as the "Alt-Right", before being subsequently rebranded yet again as "Q".
In other words, the old "GOP" (e.g. Mitch McConnell) is virtually dead at this point, or at least barely hanging on by the slimmest of threads, while now long live the "GQP", that is an entirely different beast.
And I think I am hearing similarly of the UK as well, with Brexit?
So if you meant that we need a healthy balance of diverse viewpoints, then I am 100% with you, but if you mean that we need to pollute true scientific facts with the craziest batshit insanity that anyone has ever heard of, then not so much:-). Diversity among viable solutions = good, whereas a literal Civil War b/c the "right" is throwing a temper tantrum = not so much. Even/especially the very people in charge... they are so scared of what is happening, the dissolution of a nation right before all of our eyes, and on their watch too.
