It all boils down to the fundamental difference between liberals and conservatives:
Liberals believe humans are innately good, and with the correct environment (implemented by government that assumes everyone has the same goals and innate goodness, which transfers to government itself) there will exist a Utopia where evil will not manifest itself. By definition, this means less freedom for the citizens.
Conservatives believe that humans, even good ones, are innately flawed and subject to evil and corruption, and government must be constructed in such a way to take human flaws into account and keep them from being able to manifest themselves in government, which means by definition, more freedom for the citizens.
Sorry.
You’ve got it all wrong.
Liberals believe they are smarter than anyone who disagrees with them and everything would be Utopia if everyone just did what they told them to do.
Conservatives believe you don’t have to agree with me, just leave me the hell alone and stop telling me what to do.
