That is not and have never been it's meaning. In fact, conservatives are a type of liberal.

No they are not unless if they are conservative Liberals. A conservative Maoist and a conservative libertarian have very different ideologies despite being conservative within their own binaries. This is due to the fact that conservatism is a position in a binary and is not an ideology.

You can be a conservative and be illiberal.

Ok, sure. But the "conservatives" that they were referring to are liberals.

They state "In fact, conservatives are a type of liberal" and that's objectively incorrect.
