“Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.”
Conservatives only care about small government when they are the ones being oppressed by the federal government. Like when Congress passed laws banning slavery.
But they care about federal laws being forced onto states when they are the ones doing the oppressing. Like when they passed the Fugitive Slave Act.
They don’t care about their hypocrisy and, if anything, makes them want to do it more.

Hypocrisy is a feature because it serves as a demonstration of their power and impunity. The message is “of course we’re being blatantly hypocritical; what are you gonna do about it, peasant?”
In Hungary we have a saying: “The problem isn’t what he did, but that he was busted doing it.” since the Gábor Kaleta and József Szájer cases, and the Hungarian PragerU clone Axióma kind of implied this, essentially saying “leftist hypocrisy proves that the left’s views are unfeasible, rightist hypocrisy proves that people on the right are humans first and foremost”.
Sorry, but that’s all permanent political -isms. To find -isms which are not centered around that proposition, you have to leave politics and look for various ephemeral ideas, which only become popular in response to disturbances.
There is nothing to investigate, Wikipedia is a private organization and if it has a bias it is none of the government’s business.
The party of “small government?” “Don’t tread on me?” What the hell happened, Republicans?
Every time I see a Don’t tread on me flag, 50/50 it’s also flown side by side with a thin blue line flag. Makes me cringe

You forgot the scare quotes around “oppressed.”

They only ever cared about white supremacy. All that other stuff was bullshit.
Facism happened. Governement run by Captialists.
Yep back in the 1930s.
pretty much predicted by Jack London in The Iron Heel in 1908 but people have been saying it longer than that.
Yep. The United States was one of the bigest inspirations for Nazi Germany. It goes back to the countries founding unfortunately.
That’s only when it’s private companies they like.
That was always an obvious lie.
