Default OT Stereotypes of "liberals" vs "conservatives"



Take one trait that is common among liberals; tolerance. This same trait

is
not shared or highly regarded by conservatives. A trait they like a lot

more

I must call bull**** on that one.
I find tolerance to be about equally practiced by liberals and
conservatives, though you may find it preached more frequently by
(political) liberals.

It is a trait I rarely see displayed by pundits of either side.



The point is this, is the word tolerant one that is frequently used when
describing a conservative? There is just no denying the fact that tolerance
of other views, ideas, or lifestyles is not something that is commonly
associated with conservatives. You can deny that all you want but liberals
are always more associated with being tolerant than conservatives are.
That's just a fact.
