@freedomishavingachoice3020 you say "data" which is vague. You have to put data in context. You can give two experts the same set of data and get to different conclusions.
You bring up feelings and the right. Here is the reality. When you take most issues and strip them to the very core, on the right their ideas are based on facts and reasoning, on the left it is based on emotions. That is why so many of our institutions are overran on the left, they tap into people's emotions with short talking points.
That is not to say one side is better than the other. We need both. Facts and reasoning is important, but we are human and thus have emotions. That plays a role. Take charities for example. Me giving money away, objectively, is not going to help me financially, but subjectively, it makes me feel better.
"The right has given me no data to back up their claims."
Which is simply not true. They do. A lot of times people on the left will ignore what the right says because they will take that data and go farther where the left will push a data point and say "see, bad".
For example, take economics and wage stagnation. Sure, if you use CPI inflation and average wages there is some data to suggest wages have been stagnant. However, there is much more to it than that. The left will take that data and say "see, wages have been stagnant." On the right they will go farther. They will use other methods of inflation such as PCE and GDP deflator. They will use the short comings of inflation. They will talk about other factors playing a role such as increase in immigration, etc. There are a lot of data points showing wages have increased.
The middle ground, though is this. One, wages have increased. However, we can always get better. However, too many do not go towards the middle, they go towards the edge which creates problems.
Long story short, both sides have talking points and it is not good.
