Where exactly do you draw the line between liberals and conservatives?

Personally, I find it hard to do so on most social issues because the positions have changed so fast. I mean 10 years ago, it would've been gay marriage but since then a lot of conservatives have (at least outwardly) been accepting gay marriage. Personally, I use the zoning laws since that's one of the biggest departures from capitalism that republicans support in contravention to almost all of their other stated values.

With conservatives, I draw the line with them not understanding how people are still oppressed today in this country. With liberals, I draw the line with how everything has to be taken the wrong way and offensive. It’s like we have to walk around on eggshells just to speak to somebody.

@TurtleEclipseOfTheHeart Not to mention "conservatives" being oppressed by liberals "taking things the wrong way" and oppressing them for oppressing.

It feels like we're stuck in loops with the conservative/liberal distinction as an us vs them thing as opposed to just attempts to label attitudes an views.
