Is the “just because we disagree on politics we can still get along” frame of mind generally a conservative thing? Because on one hand, it makes sense. On the other hand, I find it very difficult, for example, to look past the fact that some conservatives want to stop aid to Ukraine (as a Ukrainian living in the US).

Indeed, many Conservatives are of the "I just ate, so I guess World Hunger is a myth" variety.

Unless something is specifically happening to them personally, it isn't THAT big a deal.

A lack of empathy is a hallmark of the ideology.

I chuckled at the “I just ate, so there’s no hunger example” because I have a conservative-leaning friend who was of the “it just rained, so there’s no drought” mentality.
