> The right to repair people are leftists

I think this is an oversimplification at best. Right-to-repair has huge support amongst e.g. farmers, who are not homogeneously left-leaning by any stretch.

If a farmer supports right to repair - a pretty significant regulation of business - they must be at least left leaning.

What a bizarre argument. I don't think "business regulation" is the only or even the primary dimension of the left vs right axis.

That's an idiosyncratic usage of left/right leaning.

The right is not significantly more opposed to regulation of business than the left, except in some shallow rhetoric. They just want the regulations to align with their own world view.
