      This isn’t even conservatism. It’s regressive. They aren’t conserving anything, just trying to take everyone back to robber barons and Nazis.

      Conservatism is about slowing change. Change causes fear in those who are not adequately prepared to meet it. This is a symptom of someone who is mentally unhealthy. The level of fear is proportionate to the overall level of mental health.

      All that to say: I think those with disorders are more likely to be conservative, but to a certain level conservatism is healthy.

      MAGA on the other hand? That deserves to be seen as a disorder, imo.
