I’ve heard it stated (not by me) that conservatives believe leftists are wrong, but leftists believe conservatives are evil. You apparently are someone who lends credence to this trope.

I’d actually say it’s the opposite. For decades leftists have been vilified by conservatives, going back even before McCarthyism. Most leftists understand conservative voters to be victims of a multi-billion dollar propaganda machine that exists to uphold the status quo. 

For the sake of credibility, I run an activist organization comprised of primarily leftists but I often find myself discussing things with conservatives. They’re not “bad” people because they’re malicious or evil or what have you. They just have been lied to their entire lives. Broadly speaking though, conservatives do think I’m trying to run America in the ground until we speak for a while. 

With that being said, conservative politicians and pundits are particularly evil, even more so than your run of the mill politician or pundit.
