    How does more people feeling left behind lead to conservatism though? This is a genuine question.

      because these people use the right words to convince the people feeling left behind that they will care for them and make their lifes better.

        In other words, make promises and tell them what they want to hear, while telling them you hate the same people they do.

        Then go do whatever the hell you want, and keep telling your followers you’re helping them.

      Because living felt better in the past.

      That’s the root of conservatism. And yeah, it does devolve to “my dick wasn’t limp, my tits didn’t sag, my knees didn’t hurt, and I was ignorant enough to not see the problems I see clearly now”.
