Reasons I hate Conservatism
The person should have spoken to the conductor, rather than the company.
Write-ups can really cause problems for employees.
I would rather just say “passengers,” rather than “ladies and gentlemen.” But “ladies and gentlemen” was not said in the spirit of being noninclusive. And it was a part of the conductor’s training.
If it was part of a conductor’s training, receiving a write-up would be absurd....especially since, under the circumstances, the boss should receive a write-up for training the conductor to say “ladies and gentlemen.”
Conservatives equals to pro-Trump, anti-abortion, anti-human rights and pro-torture before conviction.
Basically anything that Trump stands for, is Conservatism.
I know this, because anyone who disagrees with Trump and his policies, are frown upon and the entire Republican Party (which is the Conservative Party of the U.S.) - support Donald Trump and everything he stands for.
Therefore I know there are no caricatures of conservatives, it IS how Conservatism works, because every single Conservative on this sh***y planet thinks Trump was the best president ever and that Trump should become a dictator and anyone who oppose Trump should be jailed.
That's Conservatism, because Conservatives say so themselves.
You're spouting nonsense when you claim every conservative on the planet supports Trump.
I'm pretty much politically homeless, because I don't subscribe to ant any political ideology 100%. Conservatism represents the smallest sliver in my political pie graph. But I know enough to understand that the Republicans don't represent true conservatism any more that Democrats represent true liberalism.

I believe most people are politically homeless, but if you choose to join the Republican Party, you're expected to support Trump 100 %.
I don't think the Democrats are more liberal than anybody else, they simply only agree that Trump was a bad choice.
I know of Conservatives in my own country, who fully support Trump, believe the Bible is literally true and thinks that anyone who eligibly recieve Disability Benefits should be deprived the right to vote, because they are unable to pay more taxes than they recieve in benefit income.
That's my encounter with Conservatives, and that's why I hate them. Because I have yet to meet an Conservative who is empathetic to the weak, autistics, disabled (physical as well as mentally), or believe in Scientific Reasoning before religious rituals or ideology.
I also have yet to meet a Conservative who is not hostile to people on welfare.

No. You are creating the the thing you fear in your own mind.

Nope
Trump Has Left the Conservative Movement Defenseless
The Lincoln Project
Liz Cheney's likely replacement, Elise Stefanik, isn't nearly as conservative
In a voice vote Wednesday, GOP representatives voted to strip her of her role as chair of the House Republican Conference. Rep. Elise Stefanik has been pegged to take her place.
The New York congresswoman has the support of Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy and former President Trump himself, despite the fact that her voting record isn't nearly as conservative — or as Trumpy — as Cheney's.
Never Trump movement

I think you're in for a long wait
It may not happen as much in the U.S. but it sure happens in many European countries and elsewhere, like many Asian countries.
Singapore is a good example of how a true Conservative state might work.
It has widespread conscription, and if you're unfit for military duty due to severe mental illness, you're forced to work with something else - and if you want to quit, you get jailed.
Singapore also jails and flog mentally challenged people.

Is Singapore socialist?

Maybe socialism is not the right word, but they don't seem to have a lot of freedoms in the government and have restrictions which some socialist countries also have, more restrictions, less freedoms. But not sure if I used the right word for Singapore. What I meant was the government has more restrictions, but I didn't think it was do to consveratism.

I think the word you're after is authoritarian.
Singapore's authoritarianism is traditionalist in nature, so it would be fairer to blame it on conservatism than socialism, although not all conservatism is as rigid as Singapore's. A lot of countries in the region are fairly rigid and this seems to be true regardless of other aspects of their world view, so it seems to be a traditional value that wound up being retained even by socialist states in the region.
Conservatives in the US, UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand sometimes claim personal liberty is an inherent part of conservatism, but that doesn't appear to be true of conservatism in general. That appears to largely be a trait of Anglosphere conservatism, other parts of the world don't rely on that rhetoric so much because they often place less emphasis on individualism. It's also pretty hit-and-miss even within those countries, strict enforcement of traditional social values can quickly become authoritarian in nature and many conservatives don't seem to mind that.
Liberalism has historically been ingrained into Anglosphere conservatism, which is why they espouse talking points about individual liberty and similar; but there's always been an illiberal bloc and they've grown in presence and influence - at least in some places.
I don't imagine Singapore is exactly a model of the utopia western conservatives would like, but it's certainly an example of a traditionalist state with strict enforcement of law and order. There's lots of other states that could be used as examples, there's been a lot of authoritarian, right-wing states that have served as models of what to avoid. There's also been a lot of examples of authoritarian left-wing states, but I don't hear anyone in the west advocating to be more like China or North Korea.
