Conservative is better described as resistant to quick changes rather than an affinity for some historical point in time. Though “funny, isn’t it :D” political

  Idk if that's a better definition. It's better if what you are describing by "conservative" is a fairly narrow Anglo-American Conservative Ideology. Influential, sure. But not most of conservativeism, even within America or the UK. I dont think "resistance to (specifically) quick change" accurately describes how most conservatives or non conservatives use that term, not the political/social groups generally see as conservative. Affinity for "old ways" is absolutely part of what "conservative" is. Conservative movements aren't about a gradual move towards atheism or whatnot. They're about maintaining such traditional beliefs forever, as a rule.

  To me, conservativism is just cherry picking.
