Leftists typically want more government action. Rightists typically want less. Global warming hysteria promotes a thirst for government action to save us from the dreaded climate change.
(Some, many?) leftists want more government action ABOUT CERTAIN THINGS; (some, many?) rightists want more government action ABOUT CERTAIN OTHER THINGS (say abortion? law enforcement? mandatory military service? school and college curriccula?)
True but my generality holds. Rightists in general are less optimistic about government actions overall. It comes from a general pessimism about human nature which produces a skepticism about human action and the unintended consequences that always flow from them.. Leftists in general do not possess this skepticism.
