The differences between conservatives & liberals are simple.

Conservatives are leery of fad-science (snake oil) when common sense says otherwise. Same for fad-legislation.

Liberals ignore or have no common sense, & are emotionally swayed by pretty faces & smooth talking hucksters. They may have good hearts, but they are poor problem solvers.
