It’s also sad that this is what the fediverse thinks right wing is.

Taking the US as an example: if you look at how often conservative/republican politicians oppose hateful people like Trump you’re going to find it… nearly doesn’t happen at all. They stood together and supported him.

The problem actually isn’t that someone like Trump can get into office or some harmful and bigoted policy can appear for consideration. The issue is that it gets supported, it gets tolerated.

At least in the US-y sense of left/right, I think this makes it fair to group those people together. I’ll stop doing that when there’s an apparent distinction.
