You say it's not true, but then you describe a time during which the word was used in a different way, as more of an adjective or categorization than to name a party defined by that category. I stand by what I said.
You made this totally incorrect statement without any evidence and now you're arguing with a person (who seems to actually know history) who accurately described the origin of the political term "conservative." What's up with that?
Amazing how everyone who has shown up to "um akshually" me is either misinterpreting what I said or talking mad shit without making a point. Blocked because you're doing the latter.
