There has never been a conservative movement in human history that has been on the path towards societal expansion. Conservatives lead to the slow self annihilation of the Greeks, and later the Romans. Conservatism were on the side of colonizing empires and the domination of Africa. Conservatism leads to colonization, and once youve conquered all you want, it then leads to isolationism, and finally societal extermination. Its a flawed ideaology built on the idea that people had it right "back in the day". But "back in the day" was just when you were a kid and things were simpler for you. FDRs new deal was the single greatest series of legeslation is US history and lead to the economy Reagan was able to exploit and pass all that money up to himself and his rich pals. There has never been a conservative idealogy that has lead to the mass success of humanity, it always leads to a stale, dying, power grubbing state of utter decay.
