    Conservative literally means to conserve. To not change the way things are.

    You wanting change means you are progressive.

      The poster would like to revert to a time of more progressive economic policies and conserve it. 😏😆 In the US, it’s a funny dichotomy that the progressives are fighting for things which were lost.

      The US had everything the poster points out at one time. It’s just been dismantled over the years in the name of progress.

      Consecutive may also mean change such that you can just carry on with your life as normal. But that’s not what conservatives do nowadays.

      You know there are opinions on a thousand topics which you are trying to sum up into a binary system like that is sufficient.
