It's called "being a decent human". It doesn't take much but the right just can't comprehend that
Hear me out, people who belong to this stupid label "the right" can also hold those values. Shocking, isn't it? I'll even out myself as one of those morally apprehensive people of this homogeneous group, which is the exact opposite to the homogeneous group "the left" (because you're either or, of course), ""the* right". But I still hold the same values as Linus mentions.
When you boil it down, being right wing means you value property rights over human rights, and left wing is vice versa. Right wing is maintaining wealth and power, and don't let anyone else get in the way of it.
Of course there's a spectrum. In the US, the spectrum only applies to the populace, though, as the politicians themselves are behaving so polarized that there only exists "the right" (far-right culture warriors) and "the left" (center-right with lip service to the left).
If you think you're on "the right" and are not advocating actively and persistently for Trump's removal from office, you're a fucking useless moron.
Then you are either uninformed or somewhere the right is significantly less corrupt
