In fact, it hampers real Conservatism, by denying the govt the revenue it needs to carry out REAL Conservative activity (such hiring ICE agents, CBP officers, FBI agents, CIA, DEA, military, build prisons, rebuild infrastructure, etc)
Invariably, when leftists try to cut down conservatism, they wind up complaining that it's not liberal enough, as "protectionist" does here, trying to ascribe state functions to the Federal government and then whining that there's not enough money to do it all.
They often reveal their lack of understanding of "conservatism", by trying to use the misnomer first applied by big-govt pushers as a literal description, when it hasn't been true from Day 1.And while REAL Conservatives are fighting to CONSERVE America's values,
They usually reveal themselves most fully, when they expose their desire to tax wealthy people simply for the sin of being wealthy people.They're fighting to protect the fortunes of the rich, from taxation. Oh, great.
Similar to the bank robber who, when asked why he kept robbing banks, replied, "Because that's where the money is!" That was his only reason for committing the crimes he did, just as it's the big-govt pushers' only reason.
