One reason you only see people implore leftists to befriend conservatives, and not the other way around, is that conservatives feel victimized by what they see as an overwhelmingly leftist society.
Conservatives are in such a narrow reality tunnel that they feel aggrieved by things you barely notice. All of society is threateningly liberal to them.
If you ask one why he doesn't have liberal friends, he'd laugh and say he does.

Most of his friends are liberal, because few of them are to the right of tucker carlson.
He'd genuinely be surprised at the idea he needs left friends to hear their perspective.

Isn't he bombarded with their perspective every day, from hearing women to seeing women exist in public to the label on his favorite butter?
A conservative thinks he lives in a culture so overwhelmingly hostile to him, so pervasively threatening to his beliefs, that the idea of *seeking out* friends on the left is insane.
When you are able to throw tantrums about anything and everything being a liberal plot, when you think you get enough leftist perspective from your local brewery changing its logo, etc, there doesn't seem a point in needing friends on the left.
Conservatives think, in contrast, that people on the left are simultaneously pervading everything with their viewpoints, and also living in a bubble of their own viewpoints.
Conservatives think, simultaneously, that pretty much all of society is a liberal plot to harm them, and that each person in society is individually living in a bubble not reflective of that society.
In other words: they think society is out to get them, and that the people composing that society are somehow not interacting with that society.
This can be accounted by them having hot dogshit for brains, but is also very sad when you think about it.

Their constant, incessant tantrums over even the smallest things, and their belief that everyone deep down also feels just as victimized by these things.
To a conservative, a liberal friend is someone to the left of tucker carlson, whom they can bitch and moan about the latest inconsequential thing they feel personally victimized by.
People who don't have steaming dogshit for brains, and who don't feel victimized by every littlest indication they live in a society, tend to not want to listen to endless tantrums.

So conservatives befriend and tantrum at other conservatives, radicalizing each further.
The result: conservatives who feel even more victimized and alienated, who feel even more isolated and aggrieved, whose brains are even more smooth and worm-riddled lumps of dogshit.
Whereas literally everyone else in society is able to

- befriend others
- discuss politics with others
- sometimes smooch

Conservatives are trapped in a hellish isolation where their only friends have swastika tats
Conservatives feel alienated, and alienate themselves from society.

Eventually, the only people willing to hear them whine about starbucks are people who whine about seeing women in the workplace, etc.
Basically: conservatives radicalize themselves by retreating further and further away from a society they are convinced is so out to get them that even a logo on a stick of butter is enough to induce a full rage tantrum.
Once a conservative is able to feel personally aggrieved by a butter company or such, he's isolated himself so far from actual society that the only people near him are all similarly aggrieved at interracial marriage.
