The three pillars of modern Anglo-Saxon conservatism are God, King (i.e. traditions) and Empire (i.e. country). Conservatism is not an ideology, and it is certainly mot a "protest movement".


What your describing is European culture and conservativism  not American culture,as American culture respects freedom more . The 3 pillars of American conservativism is : personal freedom , free market economics and limited government .



Beep boop

Since you can't come up with an actual response thanks for conceding I am right and you are wrong

Let's see what "Academic" (?) Conservatives have to say: https://home.isi.org/pillars-modern-american-conservatism

1. Liberty
2. Tradition
3. Rule of Law
4. God

Basically looks like Santander's modernized with the addition of liberty.

Yeah, but liberty - in its many uses and interpretations - is the most important one by far.  Liberty for private farmers from the slave power.  Liberty for private business from the restraints of bureaucratic regulations.  Liberty for the taxpayer against a wasteful and incompetent government's taxes.  And, yes, liberty for the devoutly religious from an increasingly secularized world.

The GOP, despite revisionist's claims, has always valued freedom for the individual over the collective good, at least internally.  Of course there are exceptions (prohibition), but it's largely a backbone of conservative rhetoric of all kinds.

The GOP has always valued market liberalism, in the 1860's, it was the liberal party compared to the democrats.

It was by no means conservative back then, the republican party's ideology from Lincoln to the present day hasn't changed, however the political spectrum, along with the democratic party has shifted to the left, making the republican party, the conservative party.
