right-wingers
Hawks, not doves
Right-wingers are people who hold conservative or traditionalist political views, emphasizing free markets, limited government, national identity, or traditional social values.
The term ranges from neutral description to dismissive label depending on who's using it: Right-wingers dominated the party convention.
In sports, a right-winger plays on the right side of the field or ice.
