FYI, I’m skeptical about people drawing conclusions about “most” in contexts like this. I do think there’s _something_ to the distinction you’re making but I when I see statements like the ones in this thread my immediate question is “are they basing this off large surveys of self identified libertarians and conservatives, or on ‘who I run into in my filter bubble?’” which I think are very different questions.
Sure, but my claims weren’t actually about libertarians and conservatives in general, only the fraction among them who support and oppose social insurance, respectively. It doesn’t actually take much formal evidence (that is, evidence that also reaches a high ‘admissibility’ standard—which ‘who I run into in my filter bubble?’ might not!) to show that sizeable such groups do exist, or to talk about their ideas.
