text: You are using a very restrictive definition of "conservative" if you think that. That is only a tiny fringe element of what are today's "conservatives".
  
  Today's conservatives and liberals have switched sides, it is now conservatives who believe in free speech and liberals who don't, conservatives who fight for liberal values against  regressive religious extremists, liberals champion them as long as they aren't Christian, etc.
  
  Which is why so many people who previously identified as liberals, like me, no longer identify as such, because so-called "liberals" no longer believe in liberal values.
  
  As for you, your defense of "winner-take-all" meritocratic economics, i.e. "anyone who can't compete with highly educated immigrants deserves to be left behind", would have you attacked as  right-wing if you were white.
