There appears to be simple but stark differences between liberals and conservatives at this time in history on many issues, but I’ll start with defense.
Liberals believe the U.S. has been a bully with its military, and an imperialistic power, hungry for oil and resources.
Conservatives believe the U.S. has protected the world from bullies, and is the opposite of an imperialistic power. It could, if it wanted to, take over the world, but it hasn’t.
I believe the case for the conservative view is overwhelming, but logic and facts don’t seem to sway liberals on this issue. So, I won’t give logic and facts, or history. I simply state the difference, and you will see that the country is about equally divided, 50% to 50%. It is a litmus test. Conservatives, I believe, base their understanding of this issue on reality. With liberals, it is a religion. You cannot debate religion, so there is not much to say, not much to learn. The two sides just state how they see things.
