Are conservative political figures such as Ben Shapiro good people?

Side stepping the specific anecdotal issues you mentioned, conservative minds are just as necessary are liberal minds. We need people willing to brave the frontier and make the unknown known (liberals) and we need people who are willing to establish and maintain order in the newly established society (conservatives). It is a balance. Like pinocchio, we have to confront "chaos" (the frontier) to rescue our "father" (conservative values). It's a life journey conservatives and liberals have to walk together.

One thing I have noticed though is people defend everything their "side" does out of fear that a concession will undermine everything their worldview represents. In defense of that, it is easy to do because the opposing side will make it seem like a simple error in one area means the whole worldview is useless. We have to get past simplistic my team/your team thinking and be willing to talk as our team.
