They should be core conservative policies on account of them being the cheapest options in the long run.
conservatives vote for small government, big business. and by small government they mean gutting social programs, and giving money to billionaires.
these social programs were to fix problems with huge expenses over the long run more so then some bleeding heart reasons.
they literally save a dime now to have you pay a dollar later.
conservatives are so short sighted they can’t see their own d$(&
Conservative means "maintaining the old ways" in politics.
It means maintaining constants through change. So it can be applied way more broadly, actually. The 'old ways' or 'traditional' ways are agnostic to whether those ways are progressive or not.
'Progressive conservatism' exists. Many consider the form (or a prominent one) that it takes to be 'neoliberalism'. Neoliberalism isn't specifically used as a defined term political science.
So these terms have a whole lot of room tp be used and misused as needed.
Hard disagree on this one.
Naturally.
