I mean it’s sort of… in the United States it’s less that our “right-wing” politicians hold particular positions and values, and more that they are committed to destroying the concept of government and undermining everything that constitutes a government. I think at this point even they don’t know why they’re doing it. Republicans represent the party of self-destruction and Democrats represent the party of “government should exist, but beyond that we don’t care much.”
Meanwhile the actual body politic of the American people, if you actually ask them, mostly support things far to the left of Democrats.
The spectrum is quite rellative. I live in a country where our right, would probably be called socialists if not communists in the US.
