Yes, life is a scary unpredictable endeavor...

That's why joyless people who believe in leftist ideologies seek govt control as a means of trying to create guarantees and safeguards against those circumstances they fear.

Trying to control others does nothing in the way of making oneself happy. By extension, voting in this mindset so that government can try to control others will also – shocking – not lead to a happier, more comfortable life.

The conservative (moderate, independent, but for the sake of expediency, conservative), on the other hand, relies on himself to meet his own needs. And the tradeoff for being free to live his life as he wishes is understanding that he has to make peace with how you live yours.

By extension, aware that he wants to be able to hold onto this liberty and freedom forever, the conservative votes accordingly, so that everyone can remain free and in charge of his or her own life.

The conservative understands that not only is it a waste of time to try to control you, but it’s also actually impossible. Humans were born to be free. And if we put a roadblock in front of you, you’ll find another way around it.

So, we see attempts at control as a waste of resources, energy and time at best, and at worst, creating detrimental results that serve to hinder people’s upward mobility or teach dependence.

We see much more efficiency, as well as endless opportunity, in leaving you to your own devices. And we want the same in return.

The conservative believes man is born free and will be who he is, no matter what arbitrary limitations or rules are put on him.

The leftist believes man is perfectible, and by extension, believes a society at large is perfectible, and command and control is justified in the quest to a “perfect” utopian society.

The leftist believes the system must be perfected in order to enable success. Therefore, disappointment is channeled as anger and blame at the system. Voids are left to be filled by faith in the govt, which they surely then want to come in and “fix” things.

And therein lies the roots of love and fear respectively...

For the conservative, when life presents great struggles, he knows he has the power to surmount them. Happiness stems from internal strength and perseverance.

For the modern leftist, when life presents great struggles, the system failed, therefore they were at the mercy of a faulty system, and they believe that only when the system is fixed can their life improve.

In the mind of a modern leftist, groomed in an era of sympathy for their feelings, happiness is built on systemic contingencies, which they will then seek to control or expect someone else to.

One blames himself. The other blames anyone and everyone but himself.

And there it is.... That's exactly where the anger, bitterness, rage and meanness come from.

The leftist ideology causes that person to cast anger at the world when things go wrong or appear “unfair.”

She constantly chooses only to see the “injustices” – and that makes for a very miserable, mean, blame-casting existence.
