You're equating conservatism with the US republican party.

I've often thought that if I moved to the US I'd have no-one to vote for. Both sides seem to have some insane, out there policy.

Yeah conservatism as in tax cuts for the middle class and poor and less government services as a result is not a policy in the US lol

I'm talking about the social policy.

Simplified, republicans seem to have an issue with abortion. Democrats seem to think there are eleven genders.

Both just seem super out there to me as a Brit.

Financial policies aren't really something I care about to the same degree.

I will say that the left leaning social policy in the US seemed silly to me at first until I became better friends with people who are in those groups and a bit of it is still silly but it does make a lot more sense from their perspective.
