What Is It Conservatives Are Conserving?

 I have been skeptical of conservatives since Reagan joined up with The Moral Majority. I always held that they were not merely trying to be sensible about change, but that they wanted to reverse change.

Now Jonathan V. Last published What Does “Conservatism” Even Mean Anymore? on The Bulwark.

The ne plus ultra here is Donald Trump, who has come to personify “conservatism” to the point that whatever he espouses at any given moment becomes the party line in the conservative movement—and hence the official stance of mainstream conservatives.

Trump has no use for our Constitution, for our laws, or democratic government. So, what is he conserving?
