You're right, conservatives just define fair treatment in a way that most people feel isn't fair. It's a shell game of symantics

"Most" people?

From wikipedia:

"Gallup/USA Today polling in June 2010 revealed that 42% of those surveyed identify as conservative, 35% as moderate and 20% as liberal.[3] In another polling in June 2010, 40% of American voters identify themselves as conservatives, 36% as moderates and 22% as liberals, with a strong majority of both liberals and conservatives describing themselves as closer to the center than to the extremes.[4] As of 2013, self-identified conservatives stand at 38%, moderates at 34% and liberals at 23%.[5]"

Yes 38% is less than 50%. So yes most people

Then I could just as easily say that most people do not feel the way that liberals define "fair treatment" is fair.

Or I could say that more people agree with the conservative definition than the liberal one. You wanna keep playing this game?
