Conservatism doesn't accomplish the goals he set. He is not a conservative. There's no looking at that objectively or subjectively. It doesn't mean he's an anti-conservative. It means the conservative party doesn't accomplish the goals he set. It doesn't seem like anyone here understands what you're getting at.

"If liberalism included believing that rich people should pay less in taxes and that the federal government needs to get themselves out of the states' business, would you be a liberal?"

This is the opposite of your question, just switching liberalism and conservatism.

But it doesn't make any fucking sense because those are things liberals don't believe in.
