OK....


1) The US doesn't pay enough in taxes. That's the primary reason for our deficit. Tax cuts at the highest marginal rates started under Jimmy Carter. Since then, Republicans have typically run the highest deficits, but the debt is truly bipartisan. We won't "cut" our way out of it.
2) Obamacare is a good thing even though it doesn't go far enough. It's also popular.
3) Gay marriage is legal. That's a good thing.
4) Your "colorblind society" characterization if a canard. 20 years ago (that was 2003, ya know) conservatives were already bitching about affirmative action. Indeed they had been since the 1970s. Same tired argument with now a new buzzword; DEI.
5) Dobbs was a radical curtailment of rights by an activist court eager to overturn a FIFTY-year old decision and it is extremely unpopular on both sides of the aisle.

I guess I'd like to know what you mean by "right." Other than an extremist minority.
