I kind of wish that the general identication of groups like the UCP, Trumpers or the Woke Left would abandon "right wing" and " left wing". They are barely democratic political entities, in the practical sense.

They all are closer in heart to libertarianism, as they are solely centered on their own acute wants and needs, and that is always front and center in all policy.

Continuously lumping them in with conservatives and liberals are allowing them to find legitimacy in those parties they shouldn't have. They are interloper who spout nonsense that will never happen, to appease a population who will ignore the insidious governing that they do quietly to enrich themselves.

Broadly saying left wing or right wing is just a personal gripe of mine. Nevermind. Carry on.
