You are only making the assumption that the truth is somewhere in the middle, except in the last example in which you sided clearly on the right.

> Leftists enjoy...fighting a...status quo

That's generally what unites people on the 'left'.

> they make up a large proportion of the status quo

Yes, "leftists" are ideologues just like rightists.
But rightists generally promote the "status quo" and resist change or seek to reverse it.
That's generally what unites people on the 'right'.
A great uniting and dividing factor is also simply the idea of left and right.

> they make a lot more noise.

No, that's just perspective. Like how an oil tanker on the horizon seems much smaller than the tugboat in dock next to you.

> I...haven't been approached by a...jehovah's witness...leftists whine about irrelevant nonsense

I haven't been approached by either one.
Well, the JWs have knocked on my door a few times, but they are usually tolerable and leave quickly. Still, never ran into an proselytizing leftist. Well, I saw a pair of war protesters once. Two of them. They didn't even shout though. I'm not sure why you are comparing JWs with leftists.

> and be apologetic towards vicious tyrants around the globe

That sounds exactly like the Kirkpatrick doctrine under Ronald Reagan, which supported right-wing dictatorships to further American interests.
Like supplying Saddam Hussein's Iraq to fight Ayatollah Khomeini's Iran.
