    You are describing Neoconservative and/or Trumptard “conservative” policies. In the political textbooks, Conservative does mean the ones who want to preserve traditional ways of doing things, conserving money by reducing wasteful spending, conserving our military forces by not engaging in wars of foreign intervention.

    That type of textbook Conservative is a lot harder to find in government since 9/11 happened and turned America into the shit version that we have now.
