    a conservative is interested in keeping things as is, stable, favouring democracy (even if imperfect).

    This has never been the case. People calling themselves conservatives have always been all about tearing down existing systems in order to magically replace them with a fever dream about how it was “in the good old days”. Conservatism has always been a destructive and dangerous ideology.

      Regressive militaristic enforcement of hierarchy and in/out groups is absolutely “conservatism” at its core.

      Some “conservatives” may not agree with every single point but the ideology remains the same.
