It´s just a hunch for me, but conservatives have already given up on the whole civility thing which I have yet to experience a single liberal abandon. When people talk about their journey towards leftism, it´s either they used to be chuds or they were never sold on capitalism to begin with.

This is just anecdotal and based on my scewed experience. Anyone got something to add or refute?

    Conservatives are harder to convince, but it's more likely to "stick" if you get through to them.

    2022 Liberals are defined by their willingness to trust the media and popular institutions, so even if they appear to agree with you, even claim to "want the same thing", they are often unreachable because anything you get through to them is subject to being done away in an instant once MSNBC and BreadTube says it's bad, helps the GOP etc.

    Compare and contrast what happens when Trump talks about v**ines and Bernie talking about Israel. Trump's fans boo him when he says something they all oppose, Bernie's fans make excuses.
