I find it strange that so many Liberals / Progressives / Lefties and Democrats seem to know so much about how Conservatives / Republicans feel, think and why.
So far I have had only a minor understanding their train of thought and why.
Typically conservatives understand liberals better than the other way round when it comes to the moral concerns of each side. I have learned to appreciate conservatives better than I used to due to my interest in science as in say, the works of Jonathan Haidt. But knowing something about the matter myself will not change the fact that the last thing conservatives want is to understand themselves.
PS: Liberals who have some greater depth of understanding of their own short-comings owning to things like extensive scholarship, profound curiosity or just plane unbiased introspection are similarly poorly understood and thrown into the same stereotypical kettle. It's why for example, a liberal like Jordan Peterson gets called a fascist sympathizer. It's God Damned sad.
