You can just make up a name for whoever you don't like and use it to dehumanize them. "Lib" is a popular stand-in when you don't have even a tenuous grasp of global politics.

In Empire (aka USA) as there is no true opposition, they're the same picture, the same lobbyists and so on

Trump and the republicans are right winged. Biden and democrats are the left.

It is better to conceptualize political allegiance by which ideology they support: socialism, social capitalism, liberal capitalism, or fascist capitalism.

Left wing = people I like

Right wing = people I associate with my high school bullies

A dumb and sort of wrong version would be:

~~Politically Left: "Society combine for everyone", Politically Right: "Freedom for everyone at all cost"~~

CORRECTION

Unfortunately, left and right are rather coarse terms within the political spectrum. Consider looking for some easy explanations to understand the finer details.

Fun Fact: The emergence of the "left" / "right" distinction in the political sense is attributed to the original seating arrangement at the Constituante, the constituent national assembly of 1789 in France.

EDIT: I hate talking about political stuff. Never a correct answer and every word is scrutinized. I hate it.
