The left's shit IS squared away, if you look at two determinative issues:
1) Believe that we should continue to have a Republic instead of an autocratic Monarchy, subject to no checks, balances, or laws.
2) Believe in baseline human rights and treating human beings like human beings.
Everything else is secondary, because without those two things, not a single other thing fucking matters.
Funny thing is, I grew up and voted mostly "conservative" because I (apparently mistakenly) believed those were core values of conservative political thought. Those are, were, and always have been pretty foundational points for me, and I've never deviated from them.
Imagine what today's "conservatives" reaction would be to namby-pamby shit like this:
That pussy-ass RINO would be run out of today's "conservative" party before the evening's Hannity show was over.
America doesn't have a conservative party any longer. It has a fascist, xenophobic, authoritarian party. Those are its sole bedrock values. And as long as they are, it must be opposed as we have opposed such movements in the past. My grandfather shot fascists in the face. The least I can do is vote against them every fucking chance I get.
