A lot of people in those groups simply don't care about what progressives care about. You can't call someone an asshole for having different interests and not paying attention to yours. And I don't think you can call Libertarians, who are basically saying nothing more than "leave me the fuck alone" assholes. They don't wish you any harm. They just don't give a fuck about the things progressives do. Or anything, really.
But as to the people who simply wish to control others under a right wing agenda, yes, those people are assholes. In fact, that word might not be enough. If you wish to compel another person to live the way you want him to live knowing it's anathema to him, you're the lowest form of humanity in existence. You deserve to be violently reproached in your efforts. I'd exile your ass if I were in charge.

Look at each issue out there:
Building a wall. Rational policy? No. what motivates it? Assholes.
Putting kids in tents and cages. Rational policy? No. What motivates it? Assholes.
Trade. Rational policy? No, totally moronic. What motivates it? Assholes.
Police. Again, do they have a rational policy? No. And you get the gist.
On any issue, ask yourself "What would an Asshole do?" and your answer will be the Republican conservative agenda.
There are all kinds of names for this type of reaction to the world. I'm related to a lot of these people. Their approach to life is quite bitter and their view of the world very bleak. They have taken over the Republican party, the conservative movement, and every other trapping of the right in America.
