They call themselves conservatives because it's the PR cover for the true ideology. They claim they want to preserve institutions, but that doesn't include regulatory agencies or benefits for the poor. They claim they want to conserve freedom, but as soon as you do something they like, they have NO problem banning it federally, especially if it'd cost the elites. They sure as shit aren't conserving language, a key component of our culture, when they bastardize every word or phrase that might hurt them, like socialism or communism or racist. The only true tenet of conservativism is that society should be hierarchical with a small class of elites at the top. Everything else is just whatever will fool the public into allowing an aristocracy.
