Not "Has"the left" ever been wrong", but have social conservatives, ever, once, been right, in any country, about any issue, ever?

    I think there was a time in the late 19th century/early 20th century when the more socially progressive side of politics was all about eugenics, but I'm not sure if conservatives were opposed to that per se.

    But basically no.

      Eugenics is a complicated one. Because it's true that individual conservatives were opposed to it, some on religious grounds even, but whenver it came to a vote in any country that I know, the conservatives voted for it with much gusto.
