It's not because they're conservatives that they're a problem. It's that they are self-serving morons who constantly shift the blame and divert attention and made their entire careers around such actions rather than holding any real beliefs for the future of their provinces or doing any real good.
It's not being conservative that makes them into bloated vampires, but that bloated vampires have taken over conservative parties with their superior powers of brainwashing.
I've never seen a conservative, in any country, who isn't utterly self-serving, full of diversionary lies, and ready to blame anyone but themselves (often while preaching about personal responsibility). Conservatism is selfishness, whatever else it pretends to be.
This is how I see it. My nature is conservative but I constantly see how conservative politicians are the worst and most evil people in our society. They take my naturally fearful and anxious nature and attempt to twist it into anger and hate so that I vote for them. But the mask is lifted at this point. I honestly don't know what I believe in anymore or what to think other than that any conservative politician is going to be at best a useful idiot for some billionaire and at at worst a dangerous power hungry narcissist committed to the destruction of any law or person that stands against him. Truly awful people. Not to say liberals are perfect, but at least there is some sense of duty in what they do. They at least want to make things better. I don't always agree with them, but i trust them. I don't trust conservatives anymore and don't know why I ever did.
This is an interesting perspective to see
