The Right is about greed, hatred, cruelty, malice, and the denial of reality - empathy and understanding other people go against everything that make it what it is. It’s _always_ been about hurting and oppressing people and denying reality in order to justify it for as long as the concept of “right wing” has existed; longer than the US itself has.

“Bothsides” doesn’t work; the Left and center can be good or bad, right or wrong; the Right is _always_ in the wrong morally and factually. There’s never been a practical difference between “the Right” and “evil”; people just pretend otherwise because it’s the ideology of the powerful and privileged.
