Oh, conservatism is ingroup loyalty. It's the innate human tribalism of insisting your guy should get to say what's real, because he's your guy. These people think that if the right guy moved a "beware of falling rocks" sign, the rocks would fall somewhere else.

Their stated arguments are ad-hoc justifications for whatever their betters need to be true today. They think that's all you're doing. They think that's all there is.
