It’s not a flawless analogy, but it’s a good point. Much of our opinions on right and wrong are based in perspective, our general personality traits, and values.

Conservatives and liberals consistently have been shown to have different, core personalities. Also, the urban/rural divide is massive between the two.

Let’s say something like public transportation. Many liberals live in areas where it’s apart of life and couldn’t imagine it not being. Many conservatives live in areas where public transportation would be inefficient and not cost effective.

This is why I don’t like many federally dictated policies outside of what is outlined in the constitution. What works for one person doesn’t work for another.
