The notion that our collective decision-making should be made by the smallest, most localized authority is a conservative value,
That's just a shot at answering your question. The things I would definitely not argue here are:
-that the GOP or its various constituents are motivated in any meaningful way by this value
-that this value doesn't dovetail with particularly conservative vehicles of oppression in mutually buttressing ways
-that this value is not also articulated in forms of liberal or left-wing thought
...which leaves it a pretty abstract notion, so you can feel free to discard it based on how your question was intended. But I do think that this concept is a fundamental part of the conservative understanding of liberty and that it isn't *necessarily* hostile to liberation of various oppressed groups so much as it's very easy to weaponize that way.
