    Nope.

    Conservative as a label in politics vs conservative as in slow to change are as different as theory in science and how lay people use theory to mean speculation.

      Oh, I’m well aware political and ideological “conservatism” is like North Korean “democracy” — nothing more than a hollow, objectively false, virtue signal.

      I just find it hilarious that the literal definition of conservative is the opposite. It’s so comical it’s like an allegory of their entire being. Like they fundamentally, to their very core, can’t be trusted…

        If that was true conservatives wouldn’t be trying to speedrun the running longstanding public programs into the ground or overturning decades of precedent.

        They don’t mean the same thing.
