Conservatives are as tribal and partisan as Liberals.
There are conservatives and liberals that are only so because of where they were born. These are what we call in sports - bandwagoners. They don’t consider the other side much. They do what is applauded by their environment. They like Trump while in the panhandle, but hate him while in Seattle.
These are the tribal types.
I have never met a non-tribal self-proclaimed liberal. You know, the ones with RBG on the wall over their office space and a mask in their profile picture. The online environment insulates them even while in unpreferable territory. No sincere exposure to the other point of view. As hard as learning another language while not needing to use it daily.
I have met a few conservatives that can think from both points of view, because they maybe started liberal, and are exposed to it everywhere. The Dinesh D’Souza types. These are independent thinkers. They face constant opposition that forces them to hone their thinking and debating skills. I think most of us in this space are this type, or becoming this type.
I also don’t like the word liberal. It has lost all meaning and is completely opposite of their actions.
Indeed, one of my earliest red pills was seeing just how damn intolerant liberals are of anything that questions their worldview.
Not in my experience
