Conservatism is an ideology, and has been one since the time of the French Revolution.

    Edmund Burke, the father of conservativism, was a narcissist who opposed the French Revolution, and Louis XVIII was a narcissist who crowned himself king and called the government he liked "conservative." They did not share an ideology. There was no consistency in either of their positions. They both simply declared the things they like to be conservative values.

    They're both actually great examples of exactly my point.
