The fundamental distinction between right-wing and left-wing ideologies is the perspective on border openness. Right-wing conservatives prefer closed borders and tight boundaries in various aspects of life, including physical borders, political borders, ethnic borders, and even borders between ideas and identities, as they value order and are low in openness. On the other hand, left-wing liberals, high in openness and low in conscientiousness, enjoy breaking free from boundaries to creatively interplay. The correct approach fluctuates depending on the changing environment. Therefore, an ongoing dialogue is crucial to navigate along the moving line between tightening or loosening borders. Understanding that people vote based on their temperament provides insight into those on the opposing side of the political spectrum.
