Both ends of the spectrum want the world to be safe. Both ends believe in fairness. But the threats are coming from different places.
Exactly. Sometimes you even find both sides using the same applause lights, but with different political connotations.
For example, “freedom”. Everyone agrees that freedom is a good thing. Only for some people, “freedom” means freedom from opressive government, which can be achieved by a free market. And for other people, “freedom” means freedom from a demanding employer, which can be achieved by a government regulation and taxation. Both sides will argue that their definition of “freedom” is the right one.
Below that, there is perhaps the same emotion. We all would prefer to be not commanded, not pushed around, free to choose how we spend our days. It’s just how we evaluate the risks, based on our experiences and the model of the world.
