In small-c conservative fashion, that party has gradually incorporated historically marginalized groups and, in line with the very old post-WWII liberal consensus, sought to gradually unwind historical bigotries and forms of discrimination that have made it hard for all to flourish equally.

In small-c conservative fashion their attitude toward existing institutions like public schools, journalism, the DOJ, the EPA, the Dept of Education, the military, etc. etc. is that they could always benefit from reform, but that obliterating them is a non-starter.

in what universe are these small-c conservatives found, because I have never run across a self-identified American conservative who doesn't hold historically marginalized groups in open contempt
