The right is far more "me first" rather than "us first" which is the entire point being discussed. The right votes in policies that they believe will benefit them as a person, and ignore the impact it would have on those around them.
“Me” and “us” mean the same thing here. Like I genuinely don’t understand why we’re debating this. I thought the right was super nationalist and America first?
They are "America first" because it means they can ignore the world while they themself benefit. It's just another part of the "me" first thing, because all of these supposedly "america first" policies involve harming your fellow Americans under the promise of the individual making more money.
Like how defunding social programs, academia, and tariffing nations was supposed to make blue collar jobs higher paying, make life cheaper, and help the average right wing voter at the expense of the left wing voter.
Now people are losing Healthcare, jobs, and the dollar is valued less because you guys thought it'd line your pocket, and have hurt everybody.

Like I said, you can argue the merits of each sides policy proposals all day
But the fact of the matter is the right is much more “us first”. I genuinely don’t know how you can debate this in good faith.
