This is not a typical liberal vs. conservative issue.

This is a states rights vs. central control issue and privacy vs. security issue.

Some say states should be able to decide for themselves what forms of ID they find satisfactory. The Feds disagree. The think every state's ID should meet certain minimum requirements in order to make sure every person is who their ID says they are. And you can believe that those 'minimum requirements' mean that all state driver's licenses pretty much have to be identical, i.e. National ID Cards.

People who are more concerned about security, regardless of political affiliation, tend to be for Real ID. While libertarians and others more concerned about privacy and states rights disagree.

Of course this whole thing is a farce since very few states require ID to vote, the federal government is allowing thousands in without proper vetting, and in some states illegal aliens can get a 'Real ID'.

These are the basic things that governments should get right, but seem too incompetent and/or corrupt to manage these days.
