I dont think is a conservative / liberal thing. Yes some conservatives have a greater reaction to 9/11, and seem to be more suspectable to external threats / rhetoric like Islamic terrorism, china, russia, etc. However when it comes to things like the pandemic, or internal threats like domestic terrorism, or "Trump" like presidents, etc liberals seems to become just as unhinged and stressed as the most extreme conservative does over an Islamic Terror event... If you are not seeing that likely because you are more closely aligned with one group over the other. I am close to neither, as I am more an individualist and reject any type of collectivism from religion, to government structures, to golf clubs, if it is a group I want no part of it

>I dont think is a conservative / liberal thing. >Yes some conservatives have a greater reaction to 9/11, and seem to be more suspectable to external threats / rhetoric like Islamic terrorism, china, russia, etc. So which is it? :) >If you are not seeing that likely because you are more closely aligned with one group over the other. Well I'm in the UK which is a completely different world when it comes to politics. Even then I don't really identify with either of the main parties, I could pick issues that I align with from both sides. >If you are not seeing that likely because you are more closely aligned with one group over the other. Yet you reacted when I mentioned conservatives. >I am close to neither, as I am more an individualist and reject any type of collectivism from religion, to government structures That sounds fairly conservative to me.

  >>So which is it? :) Again it is applicable to both, you asserted it was only conservatives that have this trait, I contend it is both. >>Well I'm in the UK I am sorry ;) >>Yet you reacted when I mentioned conservatives. No I continued the dialog we are having by responding to your assertion and disagreeing where I felt your argumentation was flawed >>That sounds fairly conservative to me. Depends on how you define your politics, if you do so on a single axis Left/Right. Liberal / Conservative. Maybe. I tend to look at politics more like the Political Compass[1] for which I am dead center between left and right, but I am extremely far down on the libertarian scale [1]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Political_Compass https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Political_Compass
