    i’m 24 and a proud conservative: i want to replace all highways with railways and interurban tramways, return to having small dense cities surrounded by lively rurality, dissolve large corporations and replace them with small local businesses, and bring back that thing where we went “hey the slightly insane guy who never works is living in a shack that barely qualifies as shelter, let’s build him a new cottage so he has a proper place to live, because everyone has a fundamental right to housing no matter what.”

      Conservative literally means to conserve. To not change the way things are.

      You wanting change means you are progressive.

        Consecutive may also mean change such that you can just carry on with your life as normal. But that’s not what conservatives do nowadays.
