Your hierarchy of conservatives represents the egocentric, tribal impulse, where everything, like a child, works slowly outward from the self — me, my family, religion, race, region. It is the reptilian brain of the lessor evolved intellect. The primitive ego abhors change. This is why a lying ego maniac like Trump fits right in with the conservative Republicans, except for the moderates who have already abandoned the party or are about to, not counting dopy Ryan.
