If the current state of something is a problem, and conservatism acts to keep things how they are, it won't solve the problem

 

If the current state of something is a problem, and progressivism acts to make a change, it may or may not solve the problem

If the current state of something is not a problem, but some see it as a problem and progressivism acts to make a change, it may or may not create a problem.

That's also true, I agree. It would also depend on what's driving the progressive change

Absolutely. But I find in general things that actually get changed are largely for the better in terms of social issues at least.

Conservatism (or conservativism) is any political philosophy that favours tradition (in the sense of various religious, cultural, or nationally-defined beliefs and customs) in the face of external forces for change, and is critical of proposals for radical social change.

************************************************

Let's say, there is a big problem of people who can't afford medical insurance.

 

Now, obamaocare was the progressive false solution, that was knee jerked passed by progressives

with glee, for unethical and dubious reasons.

 

It did not solve the problem. Sure, it was a quick giant change. Not good. Very bad.

 

Now, if conservatism rejects abrupt change for changes' sake, that is good.

 

Let a conservative approach take it's time, make sure it's designed correctly and really does

solve the problem, do some hard core beta testing, and consult with others in the industry to work

together, to make a genuine solution.

 

It isn't that conservatives never change anything, but that they are cautious and considerate of

many external factors.

 

The progressives that gleefully launched obamao care had little of that involved, and it has

blown up in their faces accordinly.
