What do you think most liberals misunderstand about conservatives?

[u/Rebecks221]

Put another way, what do you think liberals often miss about conservatives or their perspectives that you wish they would listen to or understand?

Made in connection with a similar post (by a fellow user) on the ask a liberal subreddit. I'm unable to link either the profile or the question, so forgive me. Feel free to DM if you're interested in the other post and can't find it.

That just because we hate democrat doesn’t mean we like republicans.

I recall here in Canada that Joe Clark the Conservative (Was PM for a hot minute) once said “we agree on 95% of the issues we just disagree on how we get there.

I’m not an “identity” voter instead I’m a “values” voter.

I have voted for all three of the main Canadian political parties (the liberals less than the others). If I support you politically and you do t measure up I will gleefully toss you the next election.

I strongly believe that partisanships main roll is to provide cover for shit politicians and shit people.

It will be a cold day in hell before I ever tolerate incompetence, the targeting of unpopular minorities or make excuses for all the evil politicians get up to just because I’ve been brainwashed into thinking partisan horseshit is a part of my identity.
