Too broad a stroke friend, conservatism is by definition the inclination to maintain the existing or traditional order. It’s conservative to vote, its conservative to protest, and it’s conservative to show the landed gentry a short walk to a long drop.
The GOP isn’t conservative they are opportunistic regressive xenophobes finding joy in making people’s lives worse using the flaws in a system that can’t work without everyone participating in good faith
If it’s conservative to do any of those things then all democrats are conservative. Which isn’t true so this is not correct.
Conservative is a political party. And it should be illegal.
Eh, your democrats in the US are Conservative to Europe. Your “left wing” is pretty much on par with our right wing.
Your defense of conservatism positions progressives as conservatives and is incongruent with the historical tendency of every nation’s most conservative population to oppress the vulnerable.
Your definition of the word conservative is impractical as it casts all participants of a functional culture as conservatives. In this way, you and I have different definitions of the word, which makes this an unimportant argument of semantics, rather than a profound ideological debate.
You prefer to defend conservatives by re-labelling them as something distinct, but this only allows conservatives to wiggle out of the crosshairs over and over again as they point to the “other” conservatives as the culprit of their collective behavior.
