Quite frankly, in this day and age, the non-woke D is the conservative party in this country. The bulk of the republican party appears to be happy disposing of representative democracy if it won't give them what they want.
On the one hand a party that is bordering on revolutionary, and on the other a party that wants to try out this new-fangled universal health care that pretty much every other developed nation has tried first.
On one hand a party that is continually redefining the second amendment to where armed teachers doesn't sound completely batshit crazy, and on the other a party that would probably be thrilled to go back to 1980's era gun regulation.
On one hand a party that is thrilled about overturning 50 years of precedent, but isn't happy with their decades long push for states' rights on abortion and is now pushing for a national ban. On the other, a party not happy with tossing citizen privacy aside in favor or legislatures deciding what rights various citizens have.
Conservative is one thing, the Republican party of the 21st century so far is something else. I suppose if one is an evangelical christian, it can be seen as conservative when viewed from that particular religious prism, but my own conservatism taught me that this country was founded on not mixing religion and politics.
