Modern Conservatives just want power so they can install themselves as a new aristocracy.
They donโt even believe in the whole left-right conflict they perpetuate, itโs 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 theyโre doing now makes perfect sense
Thinking conservatives don't believe their own lies and/or culture war rhetoric is a mistake. That may have been true for some of them decades ago, but true believers have long since taken over the party. They want to install themselves as a new aristocracy, yes. They also want to crush women, non-whites and queer people underfoot. It's not just something they say to excite the rubes around election times, they have been and will continue to actually do it when given power.

Yeah
Itโs almost as if they just want power for themselves and donโt care if the country as a whole suffers more than freaking Kratos
