It is a struggle because your premise is false. No fear here. Just a passion for our beliefs and principles as put forth in the Constitution and Bill of Rights. We believe in laws. We believe there are formal processes in place to change the laws. We believe NO ONE is justified in breaking the law just because they don't agree with it. We believe that no political party defines the law.
You don't have to take my word for it.
Scientists have studied the brains of conservatives and liberals and found startling differences in how they process information and see the world.

"
Decades of research have shown that people get more conservative when they feel threatened and afraid.
Threats of terrorism make everyone less liberal — researchers found this was especially true in the months after 9/11. During that time, the US saw a
conservative shift, and Americans displayed increased support for military spending and for President George W. Bush.
Americans aren't the only ones whose political leanings are influenced by fear. A
2003 review of researchconducted in five countries looked at 22 separate tests of the hypothesis that fear fuels conservative viewpoints and found it was universally true.
Brain
scans show that people who self-identify as conservative have larger and
more active right amygdalas, an area of the brain that's associated with expressing and processing fear. This aligns with the idea that feeling afraid makes people lean more to the right.
One 2013
study showed conservative brains tend to have more activity in their right amygdalas when they're taking risks than liberals do."
So, when you get anxious, just ask a liberal to hold your hand.
