This reminds me of a great quote:

"There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect"[1]

"Great" as in "insightful" as a definition of conservatism, rather than as an endorsement of the philosophy (one hopes).

How is that conservative, beyond dovetailing with what many on the US 'right' currently claim?

Conservatives tend to emphasize loyalty, authority, and purity as fundamental values, over and above the more widely-shared values of care, fairness, and liberty.[0] These "binding" values are a foundation for in-group vs. out-group thinking. And because loyalty and authority compete with fairness (and win out over it) there is less of a priority on the law as treating everyone equally.

The majestic equality of the laws, which forbid the rich with the poor to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal bread.
