I've always said that the core tenet of conservatism is exclusion. I appreciate you putting that into greater, more detailed words. I will definitely be using the framing of this comment in the future.

Make it a point to ask conservatives what they're interested in conserving.

Power. Because power = money.

[Social] hierarchy (power distance in society). That's the only thing conservatives wish to "conserve" above all else.

Wow. That's a new one for me. Thanks!

You're welcome.

And here's a little trivia: Studies show that high power distance nations have more plane accidents while there was a negative relationship between individualism and plane crashes. So when bigots like the late Charlie Kirk talk about "Black pilots" and "DEI" and all that crap, it's another instance of every conservative accusation is a confession, as studies show that conservative ideology is linked to plane accidents, not progressive.
