Simple: the Democrats and liberals are for it, and so the Republicans and conservatives believe they must be against it, that it’s a matter of patriotic principle (in their eyes) to oppose whatever the Dems and liberals support.
The best example is the ACA - also called “Obamacare” - which was first designed by the very-conservative Heritage Foundation and first implemented on a state level by the 2012 GOP presidential candidate…but the moment Obama decided that it would be the best workable plan that he might actually be able to implement, all of a sudden in the eyes of conservatives it became a tool of tyranny to impose socialism on the American people.
