AOC and Sanders don’t want to abolish rent-seeking, so that’s definitely farther right than I’d prefer. They’re still obviously better than most of the Democratic and all of the Republican party, but they’re compromises.
I know plenty of people on the “right”, the only thing they truly agree on is that they’re afraid. They don’t really hold any consistent political or moral philosophies.
And a good chunk of them think that they’re moderate and only lean right, yet they’re for mass deportation, masked ICE and CBP officers, higher “defense” budgets, etc while being against abortion access, drug legalization, social services, LGBTQ rights, etc. So long as they know one person further right than them, they are forever moderate.
I laugh when I see self-described leftists say that AOC, Mamdani and Bernie Sanders are too far right for them.

I think if you ask 100 random people to define what (political) left&right are, that you’d likely get 100 different answers.
I don’t know the right seems pretty unified.

I mean, that’s fair. They are still too far right. But much closer to the socialist utopia
Fucking /s for those who need it
