Linear thinking is based. It shows your consistent.
I'm sure you would agree that humans, society and culture aren't linear. So why should politics be?
Does this include the Bible verses that advocate for open borders, or the ones that call for stoning people to death for adultery(so Trump would be stoned if we live in a theocracy)? Does this mean we would have to have a 100% wealth tax (the Bible says to sell all you have and give to the poor)? What about all the times the Bible contradicts its self? The part where it advocates abstinence until marriage (and very few Republican politicians follow this)? The right is not a pro theocracy party.
What bible verse calls for open borders? Adulterers should be shunned in a just society. The Bible says to be charitable. The Bible never contradicts itself. And, republicans are not Christians. They are liberals by definition so of course they are not a pro-theocracy party.
You really have to stop thinking in American terms. No major politician in America today can be remotely considered "right-wing" ESPECIALLY considering the standards of other countries and history.
What does it mean to be a progressive? If it means changing the status quo, then Mike Pence is progressive on abortion because he wants to change the status quo. It would mean any politician that implemented constitutional carry would be a progressive on guns since they are also changing the status quo. What does it mean to be progressive?
Progressive means to liberate the human individual from all constraits.
