Anything is bad for conservatives when it hurts their in-group or helps the out-groups. Anything is good when it helps the in-group or hurts the out-groups.
Identity politics, socialism, the role of government, this applies to all these issues and more.
Borrowing from Frank Wilhoit:
"Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."
