  ‘Conservative’ is conserving the old world. Conservatives in the 1800s wanted a return to feudalism as a reactionary backlash to liberalism.

  Liberalism and liberal ideology has been the only ‘valid’ ideology for states for 2 centuries.

  It is conservative to defend liberalism. It’s conservative to defend neoliberalism.

  In order to be ‘progressive’ you have to at least be a ‘radical’ socialist that wants the abolition of capitalism.

      I’m correcting your point. Yes, a lot of the US is conservative. Most of the world isn’t. Only a US-Centric viewpoint would define liberalism as anything other than a conservative old-fashioned ideology only held by people that worship nazis.
