    The point is the conservative political ideology is against significant change in society. The current GOP wants radical and regressive changes. Aside from fascist, they should probably be more accurately called reactionary or regressive

      The conservative political ideology has always been reactionarily preserving the status quo of power and control. The current GOP’s regressive behavior is a natural outflowing of that. They want a return to a time that never existed, that they only perceived as privileged children. Where people like themselves were perceived to have control and power. And they will gladly destroy every last vestige of that actual era. To empower anyone that promises to deliver the fantasy.

      No it isn’t; that’s just what they tell people in order to pretend there’s any redeeming quality to it.

      In actuality, the conservative political ideology is in support of hierarchical autocratic power, and they are perfectly happy to make significant changes moving society in that direction.
