This is a question for conservatives: I’ve seen many people on the left, thinkers but also regular people who are in liberal circles, genuinely wondering what makes conservatives tick. After Trump’s elections (both of them) I would see plenty of articles and opinion pieces in left leaning media asking why, reaching out to Trump voters and other conservatives and asking to explain why they voted a certain way, without judgement. Also friends asking friends. Some of these discussions are in bad faith but many are also in good faith, genuinely asking and trying to understand what motivates the other side and perhaps what liberals are getting so wrong about conservatives.

Do conservatives ever see each other doing good-faith genuine questioning of liberals’ motivations, reaching out and asking them why they vote differently and why they don’t agree with certain “common sense” conservative policies, without judgement? Unfortunately when I see conservatives discussing liberals on the few forums I visit, it’s often to say how stupid liberals are and how they make no sense. If you have examples of right-wing media doing a sort of “checking ourselves” article, right-wingers reaching out and asking questions (e.g. prominent right wing voices trying to genuinely explain left wing views in a non strawman way), I’d love to hear what those are.

Note: I do not wish to hear a stream of left-leaning people saying this never happens, that’s not the goal so please don’t reply with that. If you’re right leaning I would like to hear your view either way.
