As someone who straddles the lines in the sand, I actually agree that conservatives I interact with seem to be the more open-minded cohort these days, but it's pretty marginal. The big difference is the amount of self-back-patting that liberals do about how "open-minded" they are and their agreement with standard narrative condemning conservatives as closed-minded or uneducated. Though, even that is mirrored by the other side to an extent.
That is the most ironic thing. In the same breath I hear complaints about "half the population is brainwashed by you know who" and then a narrative taken line for line from the other side. And the funny thing is...I agree with a lot of the Democrat opinions, I just feel very uneasy about such a big cohort thinking exactly the same, with no nuance - it reminds me of state controlled media in a communist country.
