This is where conservatism always leads. There’s only one genuine ideal held by conservatives, and that’s that society should be hierarchical. While most general populace conservatives don’t realize it, it’s an inherently dishonest ideology because the real driving force is the wealthy who want to become an aristocratic class but realize nobody will just give them that, so they instead direct your attention toward attempts to put someone under you while they quietly elevate themselves. Everything else is just window dressing and distractions. Conservative leaders don’t give a shit about abortion or trans rights, but they do care about riling up their base to garner support over stupid shit and distract them from all the pillaging.
