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?
Most of the problems that my conservative family members care about are culture war BS. Very little of it has any material impact on their lives.
I guess maybe it's different for conservatives who are actually blue-collar, but I think the extent to which those things are associated is exaggerated by propaganda and aesthetics. I feel like the angle of, "conservatives are easier to reach because they're the real proles" both is influenced by and reinforces that propaganda, and I don't think it actually reflects reality.
I think it's pretty rare that libs "need to be convinced that there's a problem." Just, like, show them Last Week Tonight? Most libs are able to point to plenty of things that are actual problems, often it's just that they haven't really internalized the problems they've identified or followed them to their natural conclusions.
Liberals are generally aware of problems and believe the solution is mitigating the problem or hoping it will go away on it's own.
I agree with this
