What would you call someone with the beliefs that they’ve mentioned then? I agree, I don’t know of a current “conservative” political group/party that follows that idea anymore but what word better explains how they actually want things?
In the US? … Obama? (In a very big nutshell) as long as you don’t oppose stuff like the Dreamers and Obamacare (which you shouldn’t under this definition)
By the way, I think this bit
Conservatism holds that if things are pretty good, most changes are likely to make things worse and not better
Is the biggest discrepancy in each person’s understanding. If things are good…for who? What if they’re not? If they are for 51% of people, what about the other 49%?
If you understand some stuff is good for you and some stuff is very bad for everyone else, do you block everything?
If only your situation changes and nothing else, do you switch parties?

I agree. This person is a conservative. The other “conservatives” are just fascists who inherited the label and it no longer fits.
The conservative party has never stood for what this person is ascribing to them.
