I think the issue is... so few of us have principles anymore. The world truly is "Clowns to the left of me, and jokers to the right." What is left in the middle here with you?!?!? 5%? 10%?
The wingnuts control it all, and they drag a great horde of the center along with them. Sun Tzu would be in heaven walking his armies right up the gut.

What most don't notice is that MAGA is essentially centerist. The New York Times labels him far-right, but Trump is basically a New Deal Democrat who hijacked the GOP. Many of his followers (and the people in his cabinet!) are old-school liberals who are sick of the far left rhetoric of the establishment and media. Also note that neocons like Dick Cheney and the Bushes have joined the dark side.
Yes. You state the simultaneously overtly but also subconsciously denied yet completely obvious fact: the Trump/MAGA agenda is absolutely not "far right".
Rule of law: the most glaring violation of which for years has been the flouting of immigration law.
Personal freedom: most importantly, freedom of speech.
Reducing bureaucracy and excessive regulation. Trump is pro-environment in that he's pro American health. That's why RFK Jr. is at HHS along with other key appointments.
Really, Trump/MAGA represent respect for the Constitution, America-first (i.e., foreign policy does not dictate domestic, it's the other way around), and basic..."common sense".
Hardly "far right".
But epithets, slogans and name-calling sell to the weak-minded. Just ask Katherine Maher, PBS/NPR and the Wikimedia Foundation.
For them, logical consistency and factual basis are irrelevant.
