While I agree, you still have to reckon with those individuals who claim to be conservative, vote accordingly and are then deprived of rights or services by obvious function of that vote and continue to be conservative, denying that it happened or pretending that it didn't.
At that point it's not an ideology or a value. It's a brand. A cult. They just are. That's what many of them are in the US these days. If there was a straight-forward motion to ensconce one of their so-called values into law, and a 'conservative leader' called for it to be downvoted, it would be. That's because they don't really have ideals.
I see it as more a combination of self-delusion, coupled with other people getting hurt more (or them being told other people are being hurt more; it seems they don’t even need proof).
They really don’t want to admit that they are in the out-group, because it would shatter their whole self-image.
