What is the difference between Liberals and Conservatives definition wise?
This is the longplay version. If you can stay awake til the end, it will make sense. Speaking of politicians: Liberals want the government to make your life choices for you and to regulate the country as much as possible. Their method is to tax productivity and pursue social goals. Conservatives believe in letting people live their lives with as little government interference as possible. They trust capitalism, and free market supply and demand to regulate life in the country. Those are the definitions. The facts are that both want to accumulate power, money and influence for themselves while letting the needs of the country come last. To answer those who rate this negatively: reality usually differs from textbook theory. This is just a definition. Not a treatise on the merits of either philosophy because hypocrisy is the trademark of politics. BTW- Tinkering with the various social and religious groups has become a favorite, divisive game for both groups. This is merely a strategy to
HOnestly I see Conservatives as having a more perspective of how things are, and the liberal perspective is often how things should be with a much more “ideal” view of things but often missing the pragmatic perspective. It is things like: ” Stop everyone from using cars and close the factories to keep the planet from warming” vs the Conservative side saying: ” lets make sure that global warming actually exists before we outlaw cars.” It is truly Idealistic versus realistic from my point of view, which is from the conservative side. I don’t think all Liberal minded people are bad or anything, especially true liberals compared to those in government who use liberal ideas to push radical socialist agendas. There is a huge difference, and I actually feel like the true liberal is being used by their politicians even more than the conservative politicians use their base.
