You said you are a proud conservative and then proceeded to list off things that are completely antithetical to it. I am so confused. Everything you said is progressive, socialist, leftist, not at all conservative. Conservatives want things to stay as they are, to not progress, to not change. I.E. This system is working (for me) so let's keep it. Progressives say things aren't working (for everyone) so we should attempt to make it better for us all instead of a few people having everything and most people having little.
I mean this in the kindest most supportive way possible. You may want to do some introspection and comparisons with what you want to happen and what the political parties are pushing for. You may find you are anything but conservative or you may find you actually are conservative and you really don't want those things you said.
it's a half-joke on how conservatism has become a parody of itself these days, and isn't actually really conservative in any real way.
It was originally about maintaining an aristocracy and it is still is to this day.
But were the point you listed originally conservative values?
Maybe they hate the gays and don't want women to vote 🤷♂️
