Welcome to The Right Is Wrong

Welcome. This site exists for one reason: to put ideas to the test. The Right Is Wrong is a project born of frustration with politics reduced to slogans, shouting matches, and team loyalty. Too much of our public life has become about who wins the argument, not whether the argument is true. Here, we begin from a different premise: that truth matters most of all. Every claim deserves to be measured against evidence, logic, and the ideals we profess as Americans. If it holds up, we keep it. If it fails, we discard it. Simple as that.

A Note from Karma

My name isn’t important. You can call me Karma. I write here not as an expert with credentials to wave around, but as a United States citizen who believes ideas should be tested, weighed, and either embraced or discarded according to whether they are true. The Right Is Wrong is not a place for rhetoric or tribal cheerleading. It is a place where claims will be examined under the light of evidence, logic, and reason.

At its core, this project is about truth. Not “my truth” or “your truth,” but truth as it can be measured in the world: what the data shows, what history records, what logic permits, and what outcomes confirm. Opinions can be interesting, but they do not make reality bend. An idea is either supported by evidence and sound reasoning, or it is not. And when it is not, it has no rightful claim on the future.

Defining Our Terms

When I say the “Right,” I mean the contemporary political right in the United States—its elected officials, its leading media voices, and the policies and platforms they champion. This is not a blanket condemnation of every conservative thinker in history, nor of every individual who identifies as right-leaning. It is a critique of the dominant strain of right-wing politics shaping America today.

And when I say the Right is “wrong,” I do not mean simply that I dislike their policies. Wrong here has a precise meaning:

1. Factually false — contradicted by reliable data or observation.
2. Logically invalid — internally inconsistent, or based on flawed reasoning.
3. Empirically disproven — predictions do not match outcomes when tried.
4. Normatively incoherent — incompatible with America’s own professed ideals of liberty, equality, and democracy.

By these standards, much of the modern Right’s platform fails.

Why Focus on the Right?

The left has plenty of flaws and blind spots, and I will not shy away from addressing them when needed. But at present, the American Left does not wield the kind of structural power the Right does. Conservatives hold a disproportionate share of influence across the branches of government, often through mechanisms that sidestep the popular will: gerrymandered districts, voter suppression tactics, the Electoral College, and a Senate where sparsely populated states outweigh the representation of millions.

This means right-wing ideas—many of them unpopular with the majority of Americans—have been translated into policy, law, and precedent. That imbalance demands scrutiny. It is not enough to complain about it; we must examine the claims themselves, because only by exposing their failures against truth can we build a stronger foundation for justice and progress.

The Method

Here is how every article on this site will work. I call it a simple test of truth:

1. Clarify the claim — identify what the Right is actually saying.
2. Steelman it — present the strongest possible version of that claim, free of straw men.
3. Make it testable — ask what the world would look like if the claim were true.
4. Check the evidence — consult data, history, expert analysis.
5. Test the reasoning — examine logic and assumptions for coherence.
6. Compare predictions to outcomes — look at real-world results of policies.
7. Deliver a verdict — true, false, or mixed, with clarity and humility.
8. Note falsifiability — explain what new evidence could change the conclusion.

This method is not partisan. It is the same standard I would apply to any claim, from any source. What makes the Right distinct today is how often its claims collapse under this kind of scrutiny.

Safeguards for Integrity

To keep this project honest, I hold myself to several rules:

• Evidence first. I will rely on reputable sources, primary data, and systematic reviews before opinion.
• Transparency. If new evidence changes the verdict, I will say so, clearly and publicly.
• Fallacies exposed. When a claim relies on faulty reasoning, I will explain the fallacy and what a sound argument would require.
• Fairness. I will give credit where it is due. Sometimes, the Right is partly correct. Sometimes the Left is wrong. These moments will be acknowledged plainly.

What Readers Can Expect

This site will feature different kinds of posts, all following the same principle of steelmanning and testing ideas:

• Claim Checks — a quote or claim from the Right, tested and dissected.
• Myths vs. Facts — short, clear debunkings of common talking points.
• Case Studies — deep dives into policies and their real-world outcomes.
• Explainers — breaking down complex concepts like gerrymandering, supply-side economics, or climate policy.
• History Lessons — showing how the past shapes the present debates.
• The Right Is Sometimes Right — recognizing when conservative critiques are valid.
• Positive Vision Posts — imagining what a better, evidence-based future can look like.

The Credo

The Right Is Wrong is not about scoring points. It is about protecting the promise of democracy by refusing to confuse noise with truth. The American project has always depended on the ability to debate fiercely, but also to settle disputes on the basis of evidence, fairness, and shared ideals. When any political movement abandons that commitment, it undermines the republic itself.

Truth is greater than tribe. Outcomes matter more than slogans. Democracy is more precious than demagoguery.

This site is my small contribution to that larger fight. I write because I believe that shining a light on falsehood is an act of civic duty, and because I believe that in the long run, reality has a way of asserting itself. My hope is that by testing claims against the world as it is, we can see more clearly the world as it should be.

Welcome to The Right Is Wrong. Let’s begin.
