Ambivalent Right (noun):
A political group primarily leaning Republican but holding mixed or moderate views on certain social issues, immigration, and foreign policy.
Characterized by alignment with core conservative values on government size, regulation, and economics, while showing more progressive stances on topics like abortion and
same-sex marriage.
Often younger and more ethnically diverse than other GOP groups, the Ambivalent Right expresses dissatisfaction with both major political parties, reflecting a complex blend of
conservatism with
nuanced social views.
Example:
I live in
the Deep South, but I voted purple on the
ballot sheet. I want small government and support abortion for medical purposes. I’m conservative, but agree with some Democrat ideologies. I suppose this makes me
ambivalent right.
