Conservatives. . . are so opposed to government regulations that they are skeptical of anyone who identifies a problem that requires regulatory solutions - and they are inherently accepting of those who downplay such problems.
I only noticed this after I had finished the film 'The Bad Batch,' and watched it again a few months later. . . Arlen, main character, is kind of like a shark because she keeps on moving forward. I do feel that in modern society that still is the best way to survive.
