Frankly, it's because whatever the theoretical definitions, the actual right wing, at least in America and the UK, has come to stand for short-term profit for the very wealthy over all other considerations (except, perhaps, white supremacy and maintaining the power of right-wing politicians).

They're just too invested in the Red vs Blue football game to be willing to do anything but blindly support "Their Side".
