I've been thinking of good way to teach people what each one means and may have come up with the parable. Wood shop. Yes that icky physical labor lefties hate so much. But it fits.
You step into wood shop on day one and have a choice to make. You can choose to be a liberal craftsman or a conservative one.
If you choose to be a liberal you will have the choice of all pine blocks cut exactly the same, same size, same weight and same grain. And you will make that into smaller blocks, perfectly square if you can but if you can't do that it's fine. You are guaranteed to get a D in the class. You can't make anything other than square blocks, you can never get a C for making better blocks than anyone else but you can't fail either if you never even get a block cut out. It's all fair. No winners, no special treatment for those that did well, everything is equal.
If you choose to be a conservative craftsman you walk into a room full of all kinds of lumber. Oak, Walnut, Redwood etc. 100's of varieties. You can make anything you want, out of anything you want. What you don't get is the guaranteed D for the class. You can get an F, but you can also get an A,B or C. All you have to do is make something people like. If you make perfectly square blocks like the libs you'll probably get an F. Nobody needs those they're pretty basic. Put in a little effort though and the sky is the limit.
If you want the guaranteed barely passing grade you need to be a liberal. If you want the A and all that comes with that success you need to be a conservative. It's really that simple.
Now let's continue with your shop class
The conservative shop class does not have women in it. Women have no place in a shop and dad and grandpa never worked with women
Blacks are allowed, but they are not allowed the same tools and are expected to sweep up afterwards
A gay guy tried to join once and classmates were encouraged to call him names and beat him up after class. A liberal classmate spoke up and was accused of being "politically correct"
In the Liberal shop class, boys who actually like shop class, and are more skilled, and thus would benefit the most, are kicked out of the class, to make room for far lesser skilled people, who happen to be the politically correct gender or color.
Additionally, in the name of helping minorities, and those who are disenfranchised, the best tools and wood are taken away from those who are actually skilled at wood working, and given to those who break the tools, and destroy the wood, thus discouraging those who have real talent, and giving an air of entitlement and taking for granted what they have, those who don't have talent.
Finally, at the end of the school year, all grades are averaged out, so that those still manage to put in the effort to make a bird feed, with engraving and painted sides, complete with stand, are given the same C+ as the students who showed up with two wood slats held to together with duck tape, causing all students to be upset, and hate the entire class. Those who barely showed up, are angry because the others should have worked harder so they didn't end up with a C+. And those who worked hard, because put in so much effort, and ended up with the same as those who didn't.
Then after all the social promotion of unqualified students, to meet arbitrary versions of "equality", they go to college, and have to spend $1.5 Billion dollars in remedial class, lie "Elementary Wood Working" and then "Pre-College Wood Working" and then "Bridge-to-College Wood Working", before they can start "College Wood Working".
Remedial classes have become a hidden cost of college
(these are all based on actual Math classes now offered at Columbus State.... because students coming out of liberal public schools, have to take
Elementary Math 050, to take
Pre-College Math 060, to take
Intermediate Math 075, to take
Bridge to College Math 099.......... to then take College Math 101.
We literally have FOUR pre-college math classes, because the liberal education system is so backwards and useless, that people have to spend an entire year of classes to catch-up to...... 12th grade, after they graduate 12th grade.
This is YOUR system. Not ours.
Then you sit around complaining that college costs too much, when you we spend hundreds of billions on public schools that fail so bad, you have to take four different classes in college to catch up to entry level college?
Whose fault is that? YOURS. Not ours. You punish good students, and reward bad students, and think that conservatives are to blame? YOUR SYSTEM... not ours.
Worse, after your system sucks so horribly that is the most expensive, and least effective system in the world... then you are shocked we don't want to pay for it?
Idiots.
