Conservatives have always wanted the president to be their daddy and rule over them like their daddies did when they were kids.

Certain conservative men will visit prostitutes, and claim to stand for family values, which is laughable but if you do good at mental gymnastics you could always say that you're ready to change because you now believe in "insert conservative shit" here, or bad experiences etc.

But if you asked me, you're better off believing that anarchy is the natural order and everything from government to the police force, including your own circumstances is based off a mix of luck, non compliance, misunderstandings and merit rather than any conservativism.

Just consider that even if you believe in "planned parenthood" technically a lot of accidents had to have happened for both Usain Bolt and for you to be born, nobody's life was planned out when while you were being pushed out the end of your mothers pussy.

The scary part is that there's arguably hundreds of mini accidental Usain Bolts which you're competing with every day, even if you're one of them that was planned

Conservatives are authoritarian always, many of them wouldn’t blink at reestablishing the monarchy, so long as a certain orange individual and his line of bastards were in power
