Rationale: Primary Si: Conservative ideologies tend to center around maintaining the stability of how things are/were. Conservatism tends to be skeptical of change, but less skeptical of doing things as they've always been done. There is a lot of idealized nostalgia for "how it was" in conservative movements. All strong Si traits. Secondary Te: Conservative ideologies, prior to the "age of modern democracy," were intent on keeping the power centered in the hands of the few; the "liberal" movements of the 18th Century(at least in the West) had one unifying concept, which was the expansion of the authority of the governed, versus that of the governing. In a modern context, "conservative" movements tend to aim at dictating limitations social behaviors(this might be an Si-Te loop, as these limitations tend to be based on "how it was.").
