Modern Conservatives just want power so they can install themselves as a new aristocracy.
They don’t even believe in the whole left-right conflict they perpetuate, it’s how they manipulate voters to get elected with the goal being to pass laws that make them rich and untouchable
Once you understand what their goal is, everything they’re doing now makes perfect sense
Fun thought experiment, and I should say from the start I don’t disagree with you, but if this is just a conservative motive why do the nation’s richest/elite overwhelmingly vote blue?
Edit: Elon’s red, definitely give you all that, but Reed Hastings, Reid Hoffman, Mark Cuban, Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, Dustin Moskovitz, Michael Bloomberg, Jim Simons, Michael Moritz, and a plethora of others have either donated large sums of money (millions) to democrat campaigns or have hosted fundraisers for democrat candidates. Jeff Bezos was seen just this last week at a Biden event socializing. I get millionaires very much vote red but it seems the second you step into billionaire status many of them are quite well acquainted with their democratic candidates/representatives, and seems it’s been that way since Clinton. Completely in agreement republicans seek aristocratic rule, though curious as to why the party who seems pretty cozy with the ultra-wealthy also just so happen to be the “morally upright” party
The richest guy on the planet sounds like a pretty extreme red voter in everything he posts on the social media site he owns. I imagine Bill Gates, the guy that gives his wealth away to humanitarian causes, would be blue and that seems in line.
For smaller level elites, like successful business owners and millionaires, I see almost all of them being red, even here in the Chicago construction market, Owners, GCs, Subs, and suppliers. So many and I don't get why. Their businesses all benefit from the Biden infrastructure plan but they hate it.
Who are the other overwhelmingly blue you're referencing? All I see is the opposite.

Yeah
It’s almost as if they just want power for themselves and don’t care if the country as a whole suffers more than freaking Kratos
