It’s easy to think that Democrats and Republicans have different values, because they favor different policy solutions. But the only difference is which values we prioritize when we have to weigh them up against each other. For example, Republicans who want to secure the US border aren’t blind to the plight of immigrants (benevolence) but may value security as a higher good. Democrats who want to open the border aren’t blind to the dangers of criminals entering the United States (security) but may value caring for immigrants more.
