They know America the most amazing country in history and that will ever be is worth fighting for.

Conservatism is a political philosophy for a ruling class and economics – it recognizes a poor class and supports the fact that it will always exist, and it goes on to talk about the elitist class (the wealthy or upper class) – Conservatives believe that this elitist class is the superior class and they deserve to be the ruling class. The elitist class has no obligation to the lower classes. They believe the elitist class is the elitist class because they work harder and are smarter then the lower classes – therefore they deserver positions of power. Conservatism is basically a survival of the fittest philosophy.
For example Ronald Reagan exemplified the conservative ideals with his theory of supply-side economy better know as Reaganomics.

A political ideology that is popular among the white people that believes in a conspiracy theory that Jews are smuggling in immigrants to overthrow the white people and that white people are perfect and superior to the other races, but it is actually used to scam white people out of basic necessities like healthcare or social security.
Conservatism also hates science, and rejects vaccines and denies climate change.

White people: Conservatism will save our superior race, so I'm going to vote against my own interests. Who needs healthcare and vaccines? All I need is my racist hatred.
Other people: Yea... sounds about white.
