    The conservation is conservation of power.

    That’s what they’re trying to conserve. And it all goes back to the birth of conservatism as an ideology.

    Most of the right-wing propagandist ghouls know the history of their ideology, most of them have some form of political science degree.

    They just don’t want you to know this history.

    This also ties into the origin of the terms Left and Right in politics. Again with the French Revolution, during the Constitutional Assembly of 1789, those who wanted absolute monarchy sat on the Right of the presidents podium, those who wanted democracy sat on the Left. Now, the Constitution of 1789 failed, mostly because the Right sort of won that round and the King ended up with an effectively absolute veto, and then a few years later lost his head.
