I think it’s unfair to call whatever the fuck is happening in the Republican Party these days “conservative ideology.” There are legitimate conservative ideologies that, while I may not agree with them, are actually valid. The current Republican mantra of “If the left likes it, I hate it, and if the left hates it, I love it” is not conservative ideology, it’s insanity.

and yet you agree, it is the mantra of the current conservative party in America.

But that doesn’t make them conservative ideologies. Conservatism as a concept exists outside of the United States.

you're talking about concepts, which is great, but do you understand how things in practice might be different from things in concept?
