I've found in my area (don't know about the rest of the US, so I won't speak for them), liberals are a lot more willing to be blatant about their objections to conservativism, whereas conservatives either just don't care or can actually just keep it to themselves. |
When you eliminate the 25% of 33% most extreme individuals from either party, you will find that most conservatives come to their political ideals through a logical argument while most progressive individuals come to their political ideals through an emotional argument. What this tends to mean is that a moderate progressive is far more likely to see an opposing political ideal as being reprehensible, and as being indicative of a character flaw. Being that many moderate conservatives have made the mistake of arguing with a progressive in the past (and had to deal with the consequences) they may just "bite their tongue" in social situations to avoid an unnecessary argument.
