it is not the left/right continuum that is a construct but rather the idea that the republican party adheres to the ideas of the Right (liberty)
the people that are leftist are always going to be looking at ways to groupherd the rest of humanity, no matter what the label is. this goes past politicians, and down to basic human needs of security/conformity.
and yes, the republican party is just as corrupt as the democrat party. they weren't as treasonous until the globalists took over the party leadership.
like the democong, the repukes' treason has accelerated recently as they felt the opportunity window closing.
now, hopefully, the only thing that closes for the lot of them is a noose around their necks
