Different base needs. The conservative mindset is hate driven. They will willingly sink the boat they are in, so long as those they hate drown as well. Thats why they vote conservative.
In someways its an interesting kind of selflessness...

^This. Hate against immigrants, hate against LGBT community, hate against minorities, hate against progressive ideas, hate against other countries and extremely selfish. Look at how conservatives are up for opening schools in middle of a pandemic , don’t even want to wait for a vaccine to come
Independent voter here.
It’s because liberals can be whiny babies. Conservatives don’t like liberals and they find joy in seeing liberals pissed off. I don’t think there’s a direct equivalent, but plenty of liberals find joy in seeing conservatives all pissed off. It all stems from immaturity and intolerance on both sides of the aisle.
I don’t disagree with you, that’s where all of this stems from. I’m specifically referring to people finding joy in other’s negative emotions though. That’s where I can identify the intolerance. People who get giddy over “triggering libs” are immature, I don’t think that’s a contentious view.

Stems from their desire to be better than everyone at any cost. Their actions tend to be largely driven by emotion rather than rational and logical thought

Another example of good fighting evil at pwc😆
I think some liberal equivalent for provoking conservatives are:
-lib claim moral high ground on a wide array of topics
-accuse different viewpoints as lack of reliance on math/science/etc
-muh stonks (and things like this)
-rushing to the BREAKING NEWS stories at any expense to validity as long as it makes the other side look bad
Pwc - sorry wasn't clear. I was directly replying to copywriter comment there but forgot to address it.
This is becoming a kerfuffle so last post in fb for me tonight 😂
This all started during the tea party movement in 2010, escalated towards 2012 when Obama won re-election and exploded on 2016 giving us the orange clown. Trump seized on this and every divisive, hateful resentment that comes from getting the “snowflakes” pissed and “owning the libs”. Fast forward to what we have now and it’s basically open racism from the base and just overall toxicity.
