    The basic truth conservatives can’t concede is that we are all better off when we are all better off.

    If looking down on someone makes you feel better about yourself, then you want to hold people down so you have someone to look down on.

      If looking down on someone makes you feel better about yourself, then you want to hold people down so you have someone to look down on.

      When you really dig down on the attitudes of conservatives, this is typically at the root of it.
