Disagree. There are surprisingly few actual conservatives in the American ruling class, which is why the Democratic Party is statistically the party of the rich. I think your definition of “conservative” is something closer to “person I don’t like.”

For the record, I don’t support American liberals or conservatives, who both waste too much time avoiding confrontation with the root problem: capitalism.

Fwiw, my definition of conservative in this case is someone with views traditionally in line with the Republican and Libertarian platform. Someone who tends to vote Republican and tends to view things through that lens.

I think your goal is to attack the person and and not the idea, which has nothing to do with my experience-based opinion that it's more nuanced than "dominated by liberals".
