Yeah sure, but let's frame it in a non-bible thumper way.

It's all about risk. Conservatism is less risky than liberalism.

Sure someone can be happy both ways, and maybe some liberals are happier than most conservatives, the issue is that conservatism is the safest path to contentment/happiness. It doesn't mean that you 100% will be happy of you're a conservative, but you stand a better shot at long-term happiness by following a conservative path over 'playing with fire' & 'ignoring oppressive ideology'.

It's not really that hard to understand, but liberalism/risk has it's appeal, especially sexually, but for many it doesn't end as ideally as they thought and then want help from the repercussions of their choice of 'judgement free', risky liberal lifestyle that left them less than happy.
