But that is conservatism though. I can't help but see the whole attempt at renaming it "regressivism" is to avoid "conservatism" from taking the fall when people look at it's outcomes. No one that would be "regressive" today was not a conservative yesterday.

That is not my intent, but I see where you're coming from. Today's reactionaries were conservatives yesterday because that is what the politicians constrained their viewpoint into. To me, the only peacefully-resolving course is to hope there are enough actual conservatives (ie people who respect institutions and want to slow change, and would therefore be against the recent bans on fundamental medical care, the Republican party's disruption of the pandemic response, etc) that will distance themselves from the reactionaries and not continue to blindly vote Republican.
