Ethics are not what conservatives select for. They claim conservative values, but they cannot name a single one. I can't name a single one that is an actual value.
We know that compassion and hygiene, especially when related to the spread of disease, are off their list. They fought against it. They won't lift a finger or wear a mask to save a stranger's life.
I was a lifeguard and I taught swimming. At one time I attended a private pool used for therapy. I got to know and regularly see a wide group of individuals who were for the most part conservative. I know from lots of experience that Conservatives, young, old or very old, don't shower before they go into a pool. It is easy to tell when they step out of the locker room and they are bone dry.
It is easy to tell the conservatives, they can't help saying things that a compassionate person would cringe over. They preach superior behavior but they don't follow it when they think no one is watching and they don't make their children follow the rules. It is true that there are liberals who will cheat and not bathe. But when placing bets, bet on the conservatives for poor hygiene.
This may seem like a small thing to some, but it relates directly to civilization, respect for rules, understanding consequences and respecting the rights of others.
One thing that most of the respected Conservatives have done in the past, is glance around to see if minorities were present before they decide what they are going to say. That might be a value, but not saying evil when a witness might care isn't really that good a value.
Conservatives have values, but their values are best off kept to the occasional dog whistle. Bragging about racism, fascism, robbing the poor to give to the rich, and the worship of Baal disguised as Jesus are best kept hidden. But if you look at the fruits, you will see all of these as their core values.

Democrats and those that support Democrats comprise the entire group of individuals that conserve our lives, liberties, and pursuits of happiness.
Here's to the restoration of our freedoms through our nation's return to reason's rule.
