There's no such thing as a "principled" conservative. Conservativism is the idea that nothing should change, except the things that the conservative thinks need to change. It is, without exception, based on the self-interest of the conservative determining their own positions. It's narcissism dressed in stoic nationalism wielding ignorance and fueled by anger.
That's not what conservatism is. Obviously, it's a relative term, but it still describes a concrete ideology in each society it's in. By your logic progressives want to literally have every thing to progress, but that's clearly not what the ideology behind it stands for.
Bullshit. Progressivism is based on the principles of freedom, justice, equality, and empathy. A progressive believes in their principles even when they run counter to their own self interest. A conservative, invariably, will simply choose principles that are aligned with their own self interest. Twas always thus, and forever shall be.
Read what I said again, you missed the point
I didn't miss shit. Your point is wrong. There is no underlying conservative ideology. It does not exist. Each iteration of conservatives makes up their own values and then acts like those are immovable facts. It's like drawing a circle around wherever you happen to be standing and then declaring everything within it the Kingdom of Divine Righteous People. There are no examples of conservatives who have not done this. That's not ideology, that's narcissism.
