You're making a lot of assumptions based on stereotypes.

People are individuals, regardless of political affiliation.

Some Conservatives behave and think the way you described, but not all.

And some Liberals behave and think the way you described, but not all.

Until some people stop viewing the "other side" as caricatures and stereotypes, we are never going to move past our differences and discover our common ground.

How about if conservatives don’t want abortions they don’t get one? Instead of trying to regulate the uteruses of all women.

How about if conservatives dont believe in gay marriage they don’t marry a gay person? Instead of trying to prevent it for everyone.

Who is pushing to change existing abortion law, and putting on propaganda displays? Who is pushing to repeal, or further regulate the Second Amendment?

Maybe conservatives uphold belief in the phrase "right to Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness".

Unless that life is taken by a gun, and then it’s all good.

The point is the OP was nonsense. Republicans want to control the actions of others just as much if not more so than those on the other side of the aisle.

But, with a few exceptions among the dogmatists of the Religious Right, it is only the (pseudo)-"liberals" who are so infatuated with their own viewpoint that they seek to harness the power of an overbuilt state in order to impose their views on all of us.

It's ironic that we defeated the twin evils of Nazism and Marxism, only to be confronted by a collection of overgrown Goody Two-Shoes who are convinced that they alone know what's best for all of the rest of us; happily, they usually either sink to fighting among themselves -- or are duped into the following of the likes of Saint Hilary Clinton.

How about if conservatives value democracy and the rule of law they let Mueller do his job and make Trump do his---
Which is not trying to create tariffs (which are the right of the Congress) by lying about a military necessity

How about if conservatives believe in the rule of law, then they follow the Constitution and the rules of the nation which allow one person, one vote--and stop gerrymandering the heck out of state and federal voting districts

How about if conservatives believe it's worth saving the future life of every fetus, they put money into decent hospital care for low income families and women's health care...vs fighting the CONSTITUTIONAL right to an abortion and then letting children fend for themselves...
