Mystery:Why Do Non-Conservatives Exist?



From Conservapedia

Conservative principles are based on reason. So why do non-conservatives still exist? Here are some reasons:

Statistical Analysis
(Estimates)

30%: did not hear about conservative principles, their logic and full benefits until after they made up their mind and, perhaps due to pervasive societal bias, refuse to reconsider

15%: lack of desire to find the truth, and a greater desire in gaining attention, praise by liberal teachers, getting along by going along, and not standing up to liberal bullies

15%: refuse to let go of their past, especially their past mistakes and image

10%: fooled by the demonizing of conservatives and mistakenly feel that conservative benefits are available only to those who are from an intact family or privileged background

10%: refuse to rise above their personal temptations, often self-destructive, and hate conservatives who criticize their self-indulgent behavior

10%: bitterly unemployed, or having a salary or benefits that conservatives would reduce, such as public school teachers, and a refusal to rise above self-interest

5%: were told off or disciplined once by a conservative, often a parent or ex-spouse, and harbor a grudge or refuse to rise above the animosity

5%: like an anarchist, genuinely want to believe in and propagate destructive ideas

What Triggers Reconsideration of Liberal Beliefs?
What triggers reconsideration of liberal beliefs? Here are some estimates:

25%: raising or teaching children, and realizing how destructive liberal values are to many of them

20%: a religious conversion followed by taking the Bible to heart

15%: a loss of a loved one that resulted from accepting or promoting liberal values, as in losing a loved one to crime caused by pornography, drug addiction, gambling, etc.

10%: a new friendship with someone who is conservative, and realizing how much good flows from the conservative values[1]

10%: simply by maturing and seeing liberalism's impact around them, and realizing what they were taught as youth was wrong

10%: a desire to learn the truth, and a dislike for those who mislead

5%: using conservative values to overcome an addiction, and then realizing the benefits of conservative values in many other ways

5%: taking a truthful course in economics, or learning it in the workforce[2]
