I posit that there are only three real forms of conservatism and two of them are invalid.
1. Conservatism by default - continuing traditions purely for traditionalism's sake, inherited political leanings
2. Reactionary conservatism - pendulum shift achieved when liberalism is at its peak ie the change in the US from hippies to Reagan-era Republicans or the modern revolt against perceived SJWism in the Trump era
3. True Conservatism - but how does one get to this point?

Technocratic horseshit warning: Traditionalism can be viewed as a cultural Bayesian database. Since individuals collect only a very tiny sample of data compared to generations past, conservatism may represent a shortcut yes/no response to new stimuli that achieved success in the past.
The obvious question then becomes how much new information (technology, changing culture, etc.) must be acquired before we alter that database?

What a stupid post. You must be a very stupid person, OP.
Firstly, the USA =/= the World, Conservatism is different in every nation and simply means "for tradition and against innovation (in politics)". In America, democracy, free trade, and capitalism are "Conservative" because they are the founding principles of the country. In Britain, on the other hand, "Conservatives" are anti-democratic and protectionist.
