First Principles

For a Leftist: God exists. God made humans that are basically good. God is love and humans naturally love and are naturally loving but society goofs them up. To know God and bring God to earth, be global and for open borders, be selfless and compassionate, embrace big government and guaranteed basic income for all paid for in taxes from all to all. Such selfless generosity is how to roll.

For a constitutional conservative. God exists and God created the universe. God crafted natural laws for humans to follow. God bestowed on humans such unalienable, natural rights as having a right to life, liberty, prosperity and happiness.

Humans are born wicked, but have some goodness in them that can triumph if they live virtuous, godly lives in a constitutional republic. They have a right to defend themselves. They have a right to make money without government confiscation of their wealth and freedom.
