Your using the colloquial definition of conservative to take the place of the political definition. It's the the equivocation fallacy. https://www.google.com/search?q=equivocation+fallacy&rlz=1C1NDCM_enUS834US834&oq=equivacati&aqs=chrome.2.69i57j0l5.5536j0j9&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 By your own logic the Nazis must have been liberal because they believed in change for Germany.

Nope. They were pro-choice, anti-gun, raised taxes, believed in big government, wanted government providing things like healthcare, education, etc. Also Make Great Again is a slogan.

Hahaha what the hell is this?

"pro-choice"

If you mean abortion was illegal, then yeah pretty spot on.

"anti-gun"

Actually only enemies of the state (I.e. Political enemies) and 'undesirables' (I.e. Jews, Slavs, etc) were disarmed. The majority of the Population was encouraged to arm themselves.

"raised taxes"

War time dictatorial regime?

"big government"

Well we can hardly have a Fascist state where there is any opposition to the leaders by anyone. When you say that in 1940s context you mean a dictatorship. When you say that in 2010s context you mean a Government that covers things like Healtcare and insurance and that has a more active Social and Economic role. Please don't compare that to today, as the meaning has changed.

"healthcare"

Okay. Somehow they found time and money for that during a World War.

"education"

Nothing more than state sponsored Propaganda with a sprinkle of actual education. Again, the implications behind your statement are outdated

Actually Nazis believed that a persons body belonged to the state, so they only forbade it with healthy aryan women, but everybody else was fine.

They actually did increase taxes in Nazi Germany.

Guns laws against large groups of people still count.

Big government can be covered from anything to the state just providing things like education, healthcare, etc. To it running everything in it

They did provide healthcare from the government.

The education they gave was 50% propaganda and 50% normal school subjects

I was saying how by your own logic all liberals would be Nazis.

Nah- Nazi's were fascists. Sure they had some similarities like Nazis wanted stronger worker rights and healthcare. But they also had similarities to modern Republicans like fervent nationalism and strong military. Big whoop.

Except the core ideas of Fascism were in direct rejection with Enlightenment ideals that were built upon right-wing ideas. Limited government with little regulation, Laissez faire economics, etc. Also the Nazis only had like three things in common with conservatives, but they had dozens of things in common with liberals.
