"Why?" 'Conservative' and 'liberal' are just labels for relative positions in a space constrained to "political" decision-making contexts. When someone says, "I'm conservative," they don't need to cite Burke. They can just as easily use "White" versus "Not White" as their basis.

When you ask people for their ideology, you're getting group interests congealed. You lose their varying bases. It does a pretty good job 'cause their beliefs seem at least correlated. But why wouldn't they -- conditioned by identity, people have similarly structured experiences!

Or am I completely off base here?
