    They’re only regressive to us. They’re still trying to conserve the Confederacy and white supremacy.

    From that point of view, letting dark skinned people and women vote is radical and the 1950s are recent enough they have every intention of conserving its values.

    To put it another way, conservative in the U.S. is a synonym for MAGA because blacks not being able to vote is the good old days.

    And there’s no such thing as a moderate conservative, unless you believe supporting white supremacy can be a moderate position in 2023.
