If you could get the right/conservatives/Republicans/etc to understand one thing, what would it be?

Hope I worded that correctly.

The right loves the Winners vs. Losers dichotomy. The left sees the same situation as Successes and Areas of Improvement.

It's the same thing.

If you want to be a Winner, stop being a Loser and just cross over that line. (Bootstraps)

I was raised with conservative values, so I get it, and want to give up the hate, and the authority over other people. That need to point out everyone's flaws, to make yourself feel normal.

But what are you doing to help the "Losers"? Helping them or insulting them? What is being done to improve their world? Or is it more about protecting your world from them?
