    Because by “conserve” they mean conserve the status quo.

    Rich people stay rich poor people stay poor and anyone who tries to change that is a commie.

        The status quo can include trends, it doesn’t necessarily mean a static state. “If the status quo is me getting [richer, more powerful, more control], then that’s the one I want.”
