Conservativtism is a relative term. Both right and left demand socialism. The right demanding I fund your safespace behing a "bloated blue line". Locally in Phx, we have an 11% rape case clearance rate with over 7500 untested rape kits. With violent crime rising and over $1 billion in funding. We're just throwing money away due to a fraud.
The 2 ideologys are too close tell apart at this point. There are only 2 real differences. The abortion debate and the second amendment issue. That will be settled shortly, since politics are a game of compromise.
The second amendment issue is the trickier one. Since the right are the "used car salesman of gun control". They say they want to protect it. But actions speak louder than words. Reagan and even Trump have damaged the second amendment protections more than any Dem in my memory. Don't be fooled, they work hand in hand for the means to the same ends.
It is quite easy to paint with a broad brush and make it agreeable to your position. You're speaking in platitudes. What we need across the board is real solutions to the problems.
A large problem with the spike in crime is cops are lazy and they lack the proper guidance and the proper leadership. They are often given blind support. Yet they are often the first in the modern age to go government thug on us.
This to me doesn't seem like necessarily a party issue, but a fatal flaw among law enforcement
They act beholden not to a party, but who ever wields the power. There are plenty like them through history who were "just following orders".
I am not "anti police" but do know what I see day in and day out. The only thing worse than the lazy and incompetent ones is the ones who think they're a Jack-Boot thug of the government and are there to do the government's bidding.
Also, I am a strong conservative. Have been my whole life. My family is/was as well. I don't want socialism. No one I know wants socialism. We would all rise to fight it until the bitter end. What we do want is to be left the hell alone. We want the government out of our business and lives. We want the government to stop taxing us all to death. I feel it is apt to say, none of us have had real representation for a LONG time. No taxation without representation... sound familiar?
Trump is the closet thing trying to save this country in a President we have had in a long time. It is an uphill battle for sure. Is anyone perfect? No. I don't expect him to be. What I do believe and know is, if he followed his own instincts and guts his cabinet members and replaces them with good people, we will all be better off. The swamp starts where either party recommends someone for a position in his administration that he doesn't know or trust to some degree.
Government is a leech. They in theory work at the direction and discretion of "We the People". Those aren't just words to us on the conservative side. They mean something. Something that cannot be replaced. Freedom is part of the human soul.
None of us want to actually live through 1984. None of us want or need a boot stomping on our face forever.
While there is obviously flaws within government today, it isn't based on our founding. It's based on the corruption of man and those that wield the power. The road to hell is paved with good intentions, so they say.
Our problem lies within a good system that has been corrupted by those in power. For America to survive, we need to remove the cancer that is the modern day politician. This goes on the local level as well. We need to change things and hold people accountable to be sure our rights are protected and our state remains free.
Wrong.
We moved here from a conservative part of CA that was being overrun by Coastal Democrats.
So our primary reason was politics. This included the accompanying increased crime, taxes, cost of living.
We're in a rural part of Mohave County. I don't consider any of the population centers a part of Arizona.

I agree. The "urban centers" don't align with anyone's conservative values here.
I bet you, if we audited local elections, we would similarly find wide spread fraud. I always tell my wife, idiot liberals aren't the majority. They just scream the loudest and it seems like there is more of them then there really is...
