They are absolutely not, you are either extremely dumb or have been living under a rock your whole life. It's not even a "recent time should have made you realise it", right wing politics have been objectively bad for way longer than anyone alive at the moment (I admit that I don't know the full history of the left/right political climate, so I'm not gonna say that what the general idea of right wing politics is has always been bad, I realised I need to learn more about it and will do so).

It's literally right wing "we want to control people and hate anyone who is different" vs left wing "we just want everyone, independent on their gender, skin color, where they're from, economical status etc. to be ok". Current American Republicans vs Democrats is not even close to a good scale of "right vs left" and it's not even a good scale and representation of historical American Republicans vs Democrats, it's all so fucked.
