Smaller government, lower taxes, free speech, supporting small businesses, off the top of my head. Most of that side has twisted or abandoned those ideas, but I think at their core they are decent (or at least worth-considering) ones. And I don't want to get suckered into a feedback loop cult if the next one comes from the left.

None of these except lower taxes are supported by American conservatism. There's an argument for supporting small businesses, but that's not exclusive. Liberals and leftists also tend to support small businesses but for different reasons.

TBH it's important to try to understand the conservative mindset most of the time it really isn't that deep. And the main thing is that it's very rarely worth the effort to engage. You don't really need the good faith kid gloves that often.
