Was Abraham Lincoln more like a liberal or conservative for his time?Conservatives tend to be part of the middle and working class that's reliant on institutions functioning and would immediately suffer in a breakdown of society. They aren't there to loot, they just want policy X or politician Y.
Communists and BLM types actively think a revolution that upturns society is a good idea, and that they'd immediately benefit because they'd find a huge horde of food that the wealthy were hiding or something.
Conservatives have a mindset that's about 50 years old - really patriotic and firm believers in peaceful assembly and taking politicians to task - while the Left is basically no different than the French Revolutionaries. Meanwhile, the actual ruling elites think in terms of "well we can freeze their bank accounts, we can use microwaves to cause them great pain without actually hurting them, we can use drones to follow them home and facial recognition technology to identify them".
Also for Teddy Roosevelt as well?
