what parties label themselves is mostly incoherent, especially in the united states. it's more of a grab-bag of policies that they hold as dogma for historical/expedient reasons. simple examples being environmentalism and the right to bear arms. the former is the restriction of freedoms for proposed benefits, the latter a freedom maintained despite potential consequences. those descriptions fit all definitions of right and left wing thought respectively, yet the parties that they are associated with are the inverse of that.
