Convservative = society is best the way it is, and better the way it used to be. With varying levels of discernment about what that means.

So their only real mission is keeping anything from changing. the slower and harder they can make any move to rebalance things, the better.


beyond that, especially for the religious ones, it's suicide. On one hand you have a society with equal opportunity, or more equal opportunity. They believe that means the death of the society they prefer, and really the death of themselves because they don't have any self identity outside of it.


So you'll never be able to make them change their minds based on what's better for them, because everything you're selling is death. Even if the side they're on is making their life worse or will kill them, it's ok because at worst it's the same as the alternative.

For the ones who've really thought it through, their mission is simple: they feel like they're on top, and they want to end the game before things change. They are actively trying to bring about armageddon, whether that's linked to religion or not...it's all about hoarding wealth and power until they're the last ones left and the lights go out.
