Liberty. Freedom. American values. And yes opposing the left. The left is actively undermining American values, so it's natural conservatives would be strongly opposing them.

I mean, this.

But more specifically, just the idea that they're better than you. Because you're the one ruining America with your... Mr. Potato Head dropping the Mr. part, or your female superheroes.

Pretty much the best values in life. Like promoting the kind of behavior that actually gets you from point a to point b in life instead of having you believe you are a unicorn and deserve a handout when you can just work for your stuff if you are willing to adapt and make the necessary changes in your life to succeed. The people who vote dem are folks who are basically functioning addicts. Theyre too drugged out to realize they are undermining america when they vote blue.

Keeping the rich and powerful rich and powerful. The ones at the top are greedy, sociopathic assholes and the ones at the bottom are stupid sociopathic simps. They're so brainwashed that they are just about opposing what the left wants even if it helps them.

Conservatives by definition I believe are about wanting things to remain the same. The political party aligned with that of course goes beyond that scope.

There is good and bad on both ends. An extreme example for instance it would be a "progressive" ideal to consider pedophilia ok. Not saying progressives subscribe to such a ideal just that its definitely the opposite of conservative.

To have both sides is kind of a balance. Even the most progreasive person probably has some conservative ideals cause people typically dont like change unless said change benefits them.

Then again im drunk so perhaps I'm way off

Those are to ensure the votes are legal.

How? All the votes in the election were legal, and there was no voter fraud. So what are you saying?

Modern American conservatives *do*, in fact, stand for things, mostly related to protecting/restoring their status in society and aggressively policing/suppressing the other.
You'll note that there wasn't a surge in conservatives getting vaccinated from Trump urging them to get vaccinated. This is because they don't mindlessly do what their politicians tell them to do, they just love politicians who tell them want they want to hear, and Trump was the first Republican politician who would do that unconditionally. They don't respond to things they don't want to hear.

Previously, the Republican elites would always maintain a certain decorum i.e. John McCain's campaign being complicit in/engaging in a whisper campaign to suggest Obama was unamerican while McCain the candidate goes on stage and tells the crowd Obama is an American and a good man who he just disagrees with. Trump does the former with a bullhorn and doesn't do the latter.

Oppressing an entire wealth bracket so they can feel better about themselves? Gun rights are point they make anymore that I agree with. Otherwise, most have proven to be absolutely inconsiderate about others and have the fuck you, I got mine attitude.

Conservatives are about conserving.

No, not the planet, or the environment. But their money and power. Thats the only goal. Everything else is an excuse to serve that goal. The methods to do this are usually much shorter sighted than the lefts, so their methods are not even very smart to do that in this modern world. Usually they are slaves to tradition so they can try to no-brain any issues that pop up.

A false reality of freedom. They believe they are fighting to be free, but are happy to take freedoms away from others to fight this false threat they are facing.
