Sadly this part isn’t true. If you want to find a hateful regressive, you only need to look to the right-wing parties in many countries. Sure, there are a few regressives in the fringe left-wing parties too, but the political right has a far more mainstream problem, worldwide.
And it seems like a handful of the party faithful might be waking up to that fact.
They generally share quite a bit of policy with the conservative party though. And where there are politicians changing parties in order to follow the gravy train (rather than the party itself moving right), it’s often from a conservative party to an up-and-coming even-further-right party.
Basically, love of money and sticking the boot in to those who don’t have it.
Only in America is it considered “conservative” to overturn years of laws and policies and to strive to return to the 1800 “gilded age” or whatever.
Anywhere else in the world, this is correctly described as regressive.

These are generally not considered to be conservative.
Edmund Burke was English. Joseph de Maistre was Sardinian. Conservatism isn’t just a US thing.
