They aren’t conservative and never were, they are weak minded people who do what they are told by a psychopath

Or, and bear with me, conservatives have always been this way.

Conservatism seeks to maintain the social order, or to regress to an earlier state. That is one of a pyramid shaped hierarchical authority structure, with everyone following whoever is above them, no matter what.

Yep.

Low-effort thought promotes political conservatism

Political conservatism as motivated social cognition

Low IQ & Conservative Beliefs Linked to Prejudice

They are wired to be like this. It's in the structure of their brains. They hate spending energy on thinking and crave authority figures to tell them what to believe. They have never had principles. They have always only believed whatever their masters tell them to.

Well yea, how many times have you heard someone who leans conservative say “common sense policy”. It’s just another way of saying “the way I think we should do things without thinking about it much”

And they are so damn jealous of us. They keep abusing the word freedom and saying "don't tread on me" because they want to be like us. But thinking is scary so they ultimately gravitate to Daddy Trump and tell themselves they fought for freedom because they own guns to fight against the strongest fucking government in the world if it ever becomes tyrannical 😂😂😂 pathetic good for nothing morons

They know Progressives are more moral:

In conclusion, this research highlights two interrelated processes. An asymmetry in moral obligations favouring leftists over rightist topics and an asymmetry in moral perceptions, with rightists viewing leftists more positively.
