Capitol Hill Blue Forums Political Issues Politics In General What will the post-election issues be?

Against my better judgement I find myself trying to unwrap bigswede's point (that means I'm assuming there actually is an unwrappable point...)

Here's what I've got: this is what many 'conservatives' see as the motivation for 'liberals' - getting free stuff because they are lazy and don't want to work. That is a meme that has been assiduously developed by the right wing propagandists over the last many decades (becoming obvious during the Reagan years, "welfare moms", remember?)

My motivation for a more social approach to living together is that it has more potential to be better - cheaper, less stressful, more healthfully productive, less destructive to the planet.

'Conservatives' are threatened by such things, believing that we can't trust our fellow human beings. As Trump has shown, that attitude can be a self-fulfilling prophecy. Their world view is; the best approach to life is to 'get yours' before someone else gets it.

Social vs anti-social. Trust vs fear. Of course there are infinite degrees in between...
