I disagree.
Because while one may be liberal and espousing policies that relieve the poor and the working class and favor greater personal liberties…if they’re honest about it you know they will at least try to follow through with their stated intentions and agenda.
However, one can claim to be a conservative and espouse policies that relieve the wealthy and industrious and favor restrictions on personal liberties…but if their lying you don’t know what they will do. You don’t know who they are working for. You don’t know if they even intend to follow through with their stated intentions and agenda. You’re buying a bill of goods without even knowing what you’re getting.
So the honest liberal would be more predictable and attempt to follow through with his intentions. But the lying conservative will pull a fast one on ya in favor of those who are behind the scenes and you’ll loose.
I think this demonstrates the degree of social conditioning being performed on the conservative voter. They have conservative voters conditioned to go as far as to say, “I don’t care if they can’t be trusted, they say they’re conservative. So I support them.”
I think that’s a dangerous thing. If they're lying they might not even be conservatives...they might be fascists in disguise.
