Their point is right there taking up half the comment:
being a conservative mean those who in politics uphold the value of tradition, oppose any progressive ideology, and aim to preserve traditional social and political structures
In other words, they’re “conserving” traditional values.
However this isn’t really true, and @Lumisal@lemmy.world is correct that this isn’t really what they’re doing. It’s how they think they’re behaving, but they have a distorted view on history and see it through rose tinted glasses, often trying not to conserve but to “restore” society to some half-cocked version that never really existed.
This is a terribly written comment… There is a better way to say what you’re trying to say. I think. I’m not 100% on what your point really is.
