Yes, it's true, it would be irrationally optimistic to think you couldn't have political disagreements with other people, but I always feel more comfortable with a more mundane conservativism where it seems to me that the evil consequences could be unclear to the people with the views, like about things like, oh, nuclear power or public transport or even people wanting to cut social services, than with the truly out-there ones who are unapologetically racist or "stop ALL the immigration" or "no abortion EVEN TO SAVE HER LIFE" or whatever, where it just seems completely impossible to be unaware and so then it's like they just HAVE to be that evil. And that I just find rather scary.
