"Conservative" and "liberal" are the two main divisions in the US.
In very broad terms, they can never reconcile with each other because the way that they see the world and interpret it are completely at odds with each other.
"Conservatives", and I am speaking very generally here, view the world as cold and unchanging. Facts are facts. There's no point trying to change facts. We must embrace them and behave accordingly.
"Liberals", and I am still speaking very generally here, view the world as a creation of our wills and imaginations. Just because something is a certain way doesn't mean it needs to stay that way. If we all just try really, really hard we can change reality itself.
The modern "transgender issues" illustrates this divide almost perfectly. "Conservatives" say that you are born with your sex, and you can't change your sex, so it doesn't matter what you think or feel, you must behave as if you are that sex and so on. "Liberals" think that they can change the sex of someone, especially if they really, really want it, and we should all participate in the delusion until it becomes reality.
Marxism is another example, although it's really hard to find people who aren't marxist anymore. Liberals think that life is unfair so we must change the universe until it is fair, and the only reason why the universe isn't changing is because not enough people "believe" and want it to change. Conservatives document how life and the economy works, publish their findings and say, "Live accordingly". There is no way to change away from a "capitalist" system because that is reality itself. It is better to understand it and adapt to it than to attempt to change it.
Liberals need the government in order to enforce their delusions on the rest of society. Everything they do is calculated to obtain more and more political power and then using that political power to bend people's minds according to their wills.
Conservatives don't see government as anything but a necessary evil. You can't fix the government, it's pointless to try, so instead you adapt to what government is and how it operates and isolate it as best as you can from your life.
When I see people on this forum acting like liberals and trying to change reality to some hypothetical imaginary alternative I can't help but to shake my head in disgust. No, you can't change how reality works. No amount of "movement" or "violence" or whatever you want is going to change reality. You are better off understanding how reality works and then using that knowledge to benefit yourself and the people you care about.
Now, I understand that real conservatives are few and far between. To many waving Trump flags and shouting "MAGA!" are really just liberals who have a new version of reality that they want to bring into existence. Actual conservatives, which really is a sort of misnomer at least in the US, since we're not trying to conserve anything, find Trump a useful tool at best, but perhaps better yet, another life lesson in why putting your faith in government is ALWAYS misplaced.
About the word "conservative" -- it connotes the idea that we want to keep something or prevent some sort of change, but this is silly. Society and government and laws are always going to change, and you can almost set your stopwatch to the changes and the ebbs and flows of politics and government. We don't want to conserve the government anymore than we want to stop the tide from coming in or going out. We know that the people of the US are going to inevitably devolve into a democracy and are inevitable going to bankrupt the country as they vote themselves money. We knew this from day 1. The constitution was merely a stopgap, a temporary measure put into place to try and prevent the natural evolution of government and society, or at least slow it down. Remember, Jefferson fully believed that we would devolve more quickly than we actually did, and so revolution would happen once or twice, at least, each generation. By "revolution" he meant a complete revamping of the entire government, a new constitution and a new set of assumptions.
I am not nor have I ever really tried to conserve anything. Sure, in my younger years I thought that politics was a meaningful pursuit, but as I grew older and wiser I realized how much of a waste of time it was. Certainly, had my life gone a certain direction I might have invested more into it, but it did not so I did not need to do so. (Maybe one day I might become a billionaire and at that point I'd probably have to buy my own senators.)
I understand what society is doing. I understand where it is going. I am raising my family and preparing the next generation for the inevitable result. When society finally collapses, and I used to pray it would happen sooner rather than later so perhaps my children would not have to try to raise a family through it, things will happen a certain way and certain skills will become incredibly useful, skills that I am developing and teaching to my kids.
Liberals will never "change my mind" because there is nothing to change. You can never persuade me that if I started thinking or doing certain things that the laws of reality itself will change. It's an absurd idea, as absurd to me as the idea that their efforts are wasted is to them.
We will never get along as long as they live in this delusionary state. We have nothing to discuss, no common ground, no common cause. Sometimes I might laugh as they come to the same conclusions I have (but for obviously different reasons) but most of the time it is like watching a circus complete with mimes and lion tamers, and the crowd is somehow convinced it's all very real when it is just an illusory state that has no bearing on the world outside of the tent.

So it really is a difference of reality vs. fantasy. The right says men are equal, the left says they are not but should be. One says leave it alone, the other says we must all collectively imagine something that doesn't exist.
If you actually believe this, I'm sorry to tell you you're not really "right wing" either. Reality is Hierarchical. The upward mobility of someone's life is determined before birth by their genetics, geography, and time period.
Let me try to be clear.
DESPITE THE FACT THAT MEN ARE CLEARLY BORN UNEQUAL, no, BECAUSE of that fact, we assert as an unassailable assumption and necessary reality that THIS IS EQUALITY!
Thus there is nothing to be done to "make men equal" because they already are.
