But the values themselves are different. Caring about the children looks entirely different for one side vs the other given one side believes in a social safetynet and the other believes the opposite. The definition of a productive economy is different; for some it might mean everyone has a good paying job but for others it means their select investments return a lot of money in a year and they don't much care about these other sectors they aren't heavily leveraged in. What they identify as the value of education is different as well. For one side it might be to establish critical thinking skills and to hear a wide variety of thoughts on a topic, and for the other side it's just the opposite where they want only one groupthink and no deviation from that, and their leaders would prefer their base didn't critically think about the issues they support.
