Seems pointless to bicker over labels if you agree on principles, and I'm already well versed in the progressive caricature of conservatism.

Do you feel that conservative governance has resulted in different outcomes than the progressive caricature predicted?

When practiced, yes. Lincoln was an example. GOP has been adrift more recently. Is that your point? Should be obvious that I'm aware.

No Evan. It is not pointless when the labels are misleading. The guiding principle of conservatism is entitlement, an illegitimate ideology

Is it more important how conservatives define themselves or how others perceive them through their actions? Because all I see is hypocrisy.

imo, not a caricature but an observation of movement conservatism. Which tbf is not identical to conservative inclination to gradualism.

You can't call it a caricature if that is exactly what is. Your idea of conservatism is the caricature. It's dishonest to say otherwise

Conservatives have done little to prove that caricature incorrect, in my opinion.
