CMV: You are a bad person if you are right wing

Edit: thank you to everyone who engaged in this conversation with me respectfully. I have since changed my mind and honestly feel a sense of relief with myself. Being conditioned by the media to have extreme views held a heavyweight on my heart. I feel less hateful and more open now. 

I live in Canada where there is currently an election and the liberal and Conservative party are pretty much neck and neck. I go to a left leaning school, my parents and friends are left wing and admittedly, through social media I have been conditioned to think you are an evil person if you are anything but left wing. 

I have friends who voted for the Conservative party and if you are from the states, the conservatives are more like your democrats. There are some people who are pro life but it’s not likely something like SB8 would happen here. Our conservatives are just as left wing as democrats, maybe just slightly less. 

And yet even though I know this, I can’t help but think everyone who is right wing is a racist, sexist, homophobic person. I would go as far as saying that even if the Conservative party had goals I wanted, I still would not vote for them because they are not as progressive as the liberal party.

Up until quarantine I was largely apolitical. I didn’t ever think about politics but ever since I got onto Politics TikTok I think in a very “us vs them” mentality. I really want this view to be changed because I don’t want to lose relationships over this. No one I know is blatantly racist, homophobic or pro life or anything. But I just can’t help but think of them as not as morally correct as me.

If you genuinely want your view changed on this I'd recommend Jonathan Haidt's ted talk 'The Moral Roots of Liberals and Conservatives'. He is a moral psychologist and explains how left and right wing people usually have quite different frames for understanding morality, which leads to their different politics.
