Conservatism is inherently compassionate because we believe everyone has value and capable of *earned success.*

"Here’s what a truly uncompassionate worldview would look like: It would throw in the towel on people and whole communities. It would lazily presume that a certain segment of the population simply can’t make it, that they require an unending stream of unsatisfying government support to grind along at subsistence levels."

While I am luckily self-sufficient now, I needed social programs to survive when I was on my own at 18 and had nothing. Our systems oppress the poor, it’s not “certain groups can’t make it”, and social programs try to fight and alleviate that. Opposing them shows lack of compassion, imo.
