So, am I to understand that the right end of the stick is the wrong end?
Featured snippet from the web
If someone has the wrong end of the stick it means they've misunderstood something. If they've got the sh&tty end of the stick it means they've got a bad deal in some bargain or share-out.

@fmf saidYou're clearly trying to suggest a person's politics are based entirely on which way round they are standing.
If you are talking literally about sticks, poles and the like, I am ok with that. Which is the "right" end will depend on which way you are facing. To someone else it'd be on the "left".
@petewxyz saidI am not talking about a particular person's politics! You are reading too much into it. If I wanted to talk about "a person's politics" I would just come out and name them.

@ghost-of-a-duke saidTo be fair that isn't quite what he said 'goad'!
I'm shocked to hear you are planning on naming people whose politics you disagree with.
