Not for a minute, I assure you.
Frank Wilhoit said it best:
“Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.”
It’s different from simply applying laws unequally or inconsistently: the whole point is not that favored groups are merely exempt from the laws they write, it’s that they are advantaged or empowered by them as others are disadvantaged and disempowered.
