right-thinking
Having sound judgment
Right-thinking describes people whose opinions align with what the speaker considers correct, sensible, or morally sound: Any right-thinking person would oppose this.
The term implies a community of reasonable minds who naturally agree—though what counts as right-thinking depends entirely on who's doing the judging.
Often carries a whiff of self-righteousness.
