If we’re asking what the conservatives actually believe, there’s this quote I discovered from a recent Shaun video that I think sums it up better than anyone else I can remember:
“Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.” - Frank Wilhoit
Of course, Wilhoit didn’t actually say it, but the fact remains that this is the most succinct and comprehensive explanation of what conservatives actually believe that I have ever heard. In this case, the in-group protected but unbound by the law is white guys with guns claiming a veil of law and order even if it’s so thin it has to be applied with the static from a squirrel-hair brush, and the out-group bound but unprotected by the law is, well, most black people (with the possible exception of middle-to-upper class types who don’t rock the boat, and maybe whichever black people they can con some votes out of.)
