Here's a shining example of a fake conservative: https://www.cmcforum.com/post/bill-kristol-says-he-would-vote-for-zohran-mamdani-for-new-york-city-mayor
Kristol, the son of famed conservative intellectual Irving Kristol, was born and raised in New York City. He served as chief of staff to Vice President Dan Quayle from 1989 to 1993. In 1994, he founded political magazine The Weekly Standard. Kristol broke with the Republican Party in 2016 over the candidacy of Donald Trump and, in 2018, co-founded The Bulwark, where he now serves as editor-at-large. He is also Chairman of the Board of the Salvatori Center at CMC, which hosts The Forum.
This is why you never, ever trust an establishment republican. I can remember this clown on political talk shows holding the line on conservatism, then suddenly flipping to liberal because he came down with TDS.

Exactly. But he played the part for many years.

What is a conservative? Strip it of all the random bullshit. A conservative (in the U.S.) wants to conserve the founding principles of the U.S. which is limited government and economic freedom. Private property rights, free market capitalism and a civic system based on English Common Law. Okay, we'll tolerate that French shit down in Louisiana.
That's it! You can also throw in social conservatism like being against gay marriage but that's peripheral. The important thing is the economic and civic structure, without which the nation collapses into starvation and tyrrany.
I realize Cuomo isn't a conservative either but to favor an outright communist over him is to betray any semblance of conservatism.
I also realize many who call themselves conservatives are NOT. They're happy to grow government, overregulate free markets, etc.
