Ok, so on one side, they are concerned, and want to help.
same for the other side.

and they both claim that the other side is lying.
hm.
why is it that people assume that there is a simple, one-word answer to lifes problems?

The right is concerned that we are losing our morality. They want us to care about each other more.
They cite the problem's source as the odd ones: people without families, people who arent patriotic, people without religion. They dont have the neccicary ingredients for morality (family, nationalism, religion). Their solution is focusing on your family, your religion, your nation. Then we will care about each other more.

The left is concerned about our morality, too. They also want us to care about each other more.
They cite the problem's source as the normal ones: white, protestant, 2.5 child-having families who havent been exposed to diversity, and can judge safely those who they dont understand. Their solution is tolerance, respect, political correctness, and loving those who are different.

All i see here is two groups who sincerely care about people, and want to help.
