As someone who holds both left and right views depending on the issue, I understand wanting to lean conservative. Social programs, better infrastructure, and higher taxes make sense when you can trust your government to spend your money wisely. The problem is they don't and people in government are incentivised to not do their job efficiently because then they would lose funding or their job entirely. And lately, the right has no concern over lowering taxes for the average citizen or increasing government efficiency despite that being one of core fundamentals of the party.
I miss the days of hating both sides equally because they could both be trusted to be corrupt and incompetent. One side has decided to be cruel now though and anyone who “both sides” the comparison can’t be taken as a serious person.
