cranky political opinion and overgeneralization
The honest truth is regardless of political leanings, we all want to believe the same things about the world.
We all want to believe that our economic system of choice will solve everything, that we know the truth about what's actually going on, that we are terribly oppressed by the government and the elites, and that there are people who are getting away with all kinds of undeserved tax fraud and governmental favors. That's just being human.
The difference is when someone left of center says it, that's more likely to be reflect a truly brutal reality, and when someone right of center says it, that's directly connected to shit which straight up kills people.
