In the US, the terms basically mean Repub/Dems, not what the right and left actually are in most of the rest of the sane world.


There is a reason why I explicitly pointed out I was discussing the US. I'm pretty explicitly sticking to places I'm familiar with (USA, India).

But right wing types elsewhere in the world (e.g., Modi) are not exactly looking to preserve the status quo either. Hindutva (probably spelled wrong) is hardly about preserving the status quo, nor is economic liberalization, getting closer to the west or "toilets before temples".

What parts of the world are you talking about?
