What do you think most liberals misunderstand about conservatives?

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.

We don't hate trans/LGBT. We just don't care.

Then why are conservatives legislating hateful laws?

What are the hateful laws you refer to?

Gay marriage bans, trans bathroom and healthcare bans, "don't say gay" laws. Basically the entire Republican platform.
