Conservatism is about favoring tradition and supporting the status quo. Going this wild about a common grammatical construct because it reminds you of people you hate for existing isn’t conservative, it’s something far worse.
One could argue that so called “traditions” they are holding so much dearly in their heart never was fully a thing and is just the product of past idealizations and marketing propaganda. “The perfect suburban american trad family” from the 60s is a construct made by marketing people to sell fridges, diamond and beautiful car.
The world is honestly too far into the crumbles for it to work like that anymore, they would just use circuitous accounting to funnel it into bunkers, militarized yachts, private armies, and extra planetary fever dreams.

That would be the tradition they favor.

Had one working parent and stay at home moms. But they don’t give a single fuck about that part of it, do they?
They don’t talk about the 90% top tax rate either.
“Nobody paid that. They just reinvested in their company [and their employees and reputation] instead.”
No shit. Sounds great. Let’s do that.

Can’t just give up though. It’s one step towards making things better.
We don’t have to solve it all at once.
Oh I don’t propose surrender friend.
A flat unmitigated tax rate on the rich.
Or a flat unmitigated axe rate on the rich.
