When he’s in his apartment with his family, after visiting the Dalton’s home, Wright writes about Bigger, “He hated this room and all the people in it, including himself.” This may help to explain why he hated Gus, whose fear reminded him of himself. Bigger also thinks to himself that he and his family might be forced to live this way because they’d never “done anything, right or wrong, that mattered much.” Conservatives might agree with this opinion. Liberals might believe the inverse of Bigger’s thought, that his family had never done anything that mattered because they lived in stultifying conditions.

I think this is true of SOME conservatives, but conservatives fall under a huge and wide umbrella. There are a lot of reasonable folks too. Maybe the later parts of this section will address that. But I feel like this is akin to calling all Democrats “Godless communists.” Some are, but definitely not all of them.
However, I do agree with this point “…the stereotypical liberal doesn’t believe in belief itself. When some progressive ideas are taken to an extreme, they result in the conclusion that there’s no reason to believe in anything—like truth, right and wrong or unchanging reality—because reality is continuously evolving” Very true when some people take it to the extreme
