that's the second or third statement in most modern cautionary tales nowadays
Conservative is not always but often synonymous with corruption, these days.
I've yet to meet a single "conservative" that wants to conserve something, and I've already lived more than half of my expected lifetime.
What they conserve is wealth and power, and only for themselves and their perceived "in group".
Wilhoit's Law: "Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."
