Conservatives hate that their money is taken away to fund poor people and take money away from their rich friends, and it brings them to defund healthcare, liberals hate that it creates a natural monopoly and their inability to see a functioning society work without private hospitals brings them to defund healthcare


There's no point pretending you know what people's motivations are. Conservatives I've read/heard seem to generally want similar outcomes, but disagree drastically on the methods.


First sentence: don’t guess people’s motivations

Second sentence: explain people’s motivations


No, that's a category error. I'm not talking about every conservative. Just the ones I've listened to explain themselves.


I believe that guess and explain are two different verbs
