&gt; conservatives are the ones you&#x27;ll more likely find getting their hands dirty.<p>&gt; IDK why.<p>I could venture a guess that many very religious people are on the conservative side of the spectrum, and their religion compels them to help others. Though in most cases, &quot;helping others&quot; means &quot;attempting to convert them to your religion.&quot; And many times you can just replace &quot;religion&quot; with &quot;cult&quot; and it comes out about the same (e.g. Scientology has outreach programs, though I think that&#x27;s more for converting survivors of disasters than helping the homeless).
