If you want to understand the difference between conservatives and liberals in a nutshell, look at how each side reacts to the likes of Koch and Soros. They are two very rich people who use their money to push for specific political agendas.

Liberals attack Koch spending by talking about how he actually spends his money in politics using sources often primary sources because Koch will publish the data themselves. For example if it's a discussion about climate change someone will point out how Koch spends his money on various campaigns to promote climate change denial or fund candidates that deny climate change.

Conservatives attack Soros by pulling "facts" out of their ass about how he spends his money. I've never really seen a conservative online attack Soros's spending and provide actual sources on his spending. When sources are provided they're from bullshit conspiracy peddlers that used numerology and astrology to connect Soros to said activity.

One side operates in reality and the other side operates in a god damn fantasy land. In this fantasy land they are the most oppressed people as the world is full of people who want to keep them down.
