So let's see, conservatism started in American in the 1950s as a reaction to FDR progressivism/liberalism, and perhaps its greatest representative, imo, was Goldwater who, besides paving the way for Reagan, voted against the CRA, not as a Southerner but a westerner, as was Reagan, and not because he was against equal rights before the law, that he supported, but against using such a law being used to coerce private citizens running businesses in their free choices.
KKK, Jim Crow came way before conservatism as an ideology in America.

A country that fails to protect their children, has no future. If you fail to protect the little girl from being abused becasue some man claims to be a female and has rights to enter the restroom with her, shower, ect, you have failed these innocent ones. His wrath in on you.
As such, the pretense that Southern Democrats wanting to conserve or preserve their racist institutions does not make them ideological conservatives any more than establishment Democrats wanting to conserve or preserve their power against a rising socialist hard left makes them ideological conservatives, or, for that matter, does establishment Republicans wanting to conserve or preserve their power in resistance to a populist Trump make them ideological conservatives.
Confusing the idea of conserve with the ideology of conservatism is, well, confused, and distorts the Engish language.

Sooo, the Christian bookstore will now have to hire Billy, who likes to dress in a miniskirt, and only shaves every other Tuesday? If leftist lunatics think this is going to fly, they are dead wrong.
