I'd have to agree more with the words of Ken Wilber when he describes the difference between the Left and the Right in his discussion of the human condition.
"...when it comes to the cause of human suffering, liberals tend to believe in objective causation, whereas conservatives tend to believe in subjective causation. That is, if an individual is suffering, the typical liberal tends to blame objective social institutions (if you are poor it is because you are oppressed by society), whereas the typical conservative tends to blame subjective factors (if you are poor it is because you are lazy). Thus, the liberal recommends objective social interventions: redistribute the wealth, change social institutions so that they produce fairer outcomes, evenly slice the economic pie, aim for equality among all. The typical conservative recommends that we instill family values, demand that individuals assume more responsibility for themselves, tighten up slack moral standards (often by embracing traditional religious values), encourage a work ethic, reward achievement, and so on."
BTW, Wilber's works have been read and studied by thinkers in both parties including those of George W. Bush and Al Gore. Wilber's ideas cut across the ideological divide with the goal of forming an integrative politics. Seemingly an impossible task but not unthinkable.
