They've always been that way.
What do conservatives ACTUALLY conserve? It's not the environment. It's not law and order. It's social stratification. Conservatives WANT a powerful ruling class. That's what they want to conserve. They are, and have ALWAYS been, enemies of democracy. They believe "strong men" (read: assholes) are good, and want systems that can empower rulers, not representatives.
Conservatives have ALWAYS been enemies of equity.
They seek to conserve the "Fuck you, hooray for me" aristocratic status quo, obvs.
