Liberals will "feel" that you are wrong about that.
Thomas Sowell, in one of his works, probably “Conflict of Visions”, goes into why BOTH SIDES see the other as acting based on emotion and not on reason.
The upshot is that both sides actually arrive at their conclusions rationally.
The problem is the initial assumptions, and the biggest assumption difference is “who is man?”.
The left has an unconstrained view of man’s condition, that he is good and getting better, and some are farther along that “evolutionary” road than others, and that putting these people in charge creates the environment necessary to bring others along toward expressing their good nature.
The right has the constrained view of man, that he is limited in moral, intellectual, and informational ability, and should only be in charge of his own sphere of responsibility.
