Liberals have to get pushed to the bring. Liberals are nice people in nature. They want to be liked. Conservatives value the power structure, and base their worth on their place in it. That's why any threat to the power structure is met with hostility.
Wanting to be liked and being nice isn't a virtue. At all.
The saying goes something like "don't be nice, be GOOD"
Doing what's right, usually makes you disliked or hated. Being nice means go along to get along or being nice to evil, turning a blind eye or being too cowardly to stand up for what's good and right.
That's why "virtue signaling " is such a big thing on the Left.
It's all about how you appear to others, in your tribe.
"Look at me, I'm a good person, I want to help the poor and minority's without digging too deep into the disturbing and uncomfortable facts"
I can't speak on the right wing and power structure talk. I'm libertarian and I'd like to smash the entire power structure but the Left AND the Right want to conserve it..
