Generally, the conservatives trying to “go back in time” are just returning to what they know. Either they lived in a time like that (because so many politicians these days are fucking geriatric), or the household they grew up in was structured that way.
Yes, there are a decent number of malicious fucks and grifters, too, but I like to give groups the benefit of the doubt. They’re too lead-poisoned to know any better.
That’s a very optimistic view of conservatism. They don’t want to stay the same, they want to go back in time.
