Liberalism and Conservatism: A Shift in Values
Many liberals, particularly younger individuals, often claim to lack connections with conservatives, which contrasts with the rarity of conservatives expressing similar sentiments. Interestingly, contemporary conservatives may embrace liberal values more than those who identify as liberals.

Notably, during the recent pandemic, conservatives often advocated for more liberal policies that respect individual choice, highlighting a shift in ideological positions across the political spectrum.
