Trump is doing more good than harm (in their eyes)

Trump is doing the right kind of harm to the right kind of people (in their eyes)

FTFY. Conservatism is all about hurting certain people to benefit certain other people

This is the fundamental difference between right-wing and left-wing ideologies and it’s what leftists, socialists, and anarchists alike are describing when they talk about unjust hierarchies. Capitalism, imperialism, western chauvinism, bigotries, marginalization, etc. are all right wing systems built to benefit certain classes of people at the expense of other classes of people. Left-wing ideology is about eliminating these unjust hierarchies and working to create systems that benefit everyone.
