    Nothing says “conservative” quite like destroying the thing you were supposed to conserve.

      Someone promised them that they could preserve their perceived power. And return the world to a time that never existed. If you understand that conservatives have no ideology Beyond coveting power and wealth and purely reactionary behaviors. This is all very logical and understandable unfortunately.

      The only thing they want to conserve is their foot on our neck.

      Only confused or disingenuous conservatives claim to want to conserve the government. That’s why you have conservative puppet masters encouraging celebrating Constitution Day; it helps their useful idiot non-fascists sell the ruse.

      Actual conservatives, the ones in power, see the government either as an impediment to their agenda or a tool they can misuse to implement said agenda.

      They want to conserve hierarchies, but only certain ones, and will work to create them if they do not already exist.

      And the AP’s reference to them as “Conservative” in the headline doesn’t help. They should know better.
