This is just not true at all. Conservatives aren't looking at the status quo and saying, "Yes, more of this, please." I don't think you could find anybody who'd look at the current state of affairs, decide it should continue, and describe them as conservative.

Yes, the current order is a liberal order. Authentic conservatives want to undo all the damage that neoliberalism has inflicted upon the various so-called liberal democracies in which we live. Many (most?) republicans are actually liberals from a policy standpoint just to be clear, including Reagan and Trump.
