The core misimpression is that a fundamental belief in liberty and its implications is somehow cruel and uncaring. When in fact, liberty is absolutely central to the most massive economic change in the history of the world that has brought more concrete material advantages to people in the last few hundred years than in millennia before that. And that understanding liberty means you have to value the possibility of failure as well as the possibility of success. Because if you dont have failure as an option, youll never have success as an option.
Its not lack of compassion that drives many Republican policy preferences, its a belief in the inherent importance of individual self-worth and not being dependent on external factors like the government.
