Less bigoted, don't seriously entertain the idea of Adam and Eve riding dinosaurs, believe in the concept of government (some mostly due to no other rational options to manage populations in the millions and even billions in many ways and others who are pretty deep into the authoritarian axis), and some of them can in some fashion fathom that paying taxes isn't some heinous punishment (though for a nice chunk such only applies to folks that used to get featured by Robin Leach and then just a wee bit or we lose them).
I don't think the nearly full spectrum tent allows for even the cohesion of shared values so we are in a party with folks we ideologically oppose, don't share common values, have a widely divergent view of the purpose of government even if we can cobble together some agreement on role which cannot help but to seriously impact goals.
