Liberalism is viewing someone refusing to vote Democrat because of taxes as entirely reasonable but viewing someone refusing to vote Democrat because of genocide as a selfish, mentally ill child.

It’s actually being able to understand that the two things are not equally evil but the outcome for the people they care about (like, for instance, Palestinians) will be far worse if the only other option wins. Sorry that the concept is so difficult to grasp.

They respect republicans more because they share more values with them.
