I always thought it was a distortion even to put the two on a level as right and left wings, as if they're equally valid alternative views that balance each other. One starts with an understanding of the basic truth that we share this world and must support each other, and tries to work out, with intelligence and care, how to arrange things so that everyone can thrive. The other is a roiling mess of ignorance, hatred, narrow-mindedness, greed, and personality disorders. To frame it as if there's an ongoing debate of left vs right is no more valid than to say there's an ongoing debate between astrophysicists and flat-earthers, medical researchers and antivaxers, or climate scientists and climate change deniers. Funnily enough, all the absurdly ignorant, time-wasting positions on the right-hand side of those pairs are actually popular among the right wing. Conservatism is a personal limitation (even when it's also a grift), not a real political philosophy.
