Isn't that exactly the meaning of conservative? They want to preserve the status quo of that time.

Sure, I guess in a dictionary sense of the word. But that obviously doesn't match their behavior in that case. They wouldn't be arguing for lower taxes or cuts to social security if they were only interested in preserving what existed in 1980. They wouldn't be attempting to overturn Roe v. Wade or gut the Civil Rights Act.

Think 200 years earlier, slavery and widespread poverty. The aim is bsckwards to good ol' times.

Yep, it sure matches if you actually pay attention to their actions.
