What is conservative ideology? I've always thought that conservatism was resistance to (sudden) change in societal norms. If the change is not well considered, gender ideology for example, the resistance is justifiable. Of course some of the changes they oppose are changes that should be made.

Is racism, a frequent accusation, an attribute of conservatism while the self styled allyship of low expectation lower standards for black people and it's implicit, they are inferior, is not?

I do think that in the them vs. us conflict the is a bit too much of the monolithic idea that if some of them are something, all of them are something.

This goes in both directions. As a liberal, no doubt you resent the idea that all of the current illiberal traits of self proclaimed liberals should be assigned to you.

Some liberals think I'm conservative and some conservatives think I'm liberal, depending upon my thoughts on different issues. My deck is shuffled, rather than stacked red and black.

But back to my original question, what do you think conservative ideology is that is uniquely different from liberal ideology? Not shared attributes with different ratios, but defining characteristics that are different?
