While [modern] American liberals are proving themselves to be more and more irrational, while I would agree that the ordibnary conservative is rational, rationalism this isn't what we are seeing at the national level-especially in how the federal elected congressional republicans are handling police reforms.

Perhaps an argument could be made for conservatives being irrational is why they keep buying products by companies trying to ban/control all conservative arguments, such as:

Unilever Plc, Coca-Cola Co., Honda Motor Co., Hershey Co. ,Diageo Plc ,PepsiCo ,Verizon Communications Inc., Levi Strauss & Co., Diamond Foundry Inc., Patagonia Inc., Ben & Jerry’s Homemade Inc., Viber, The North Face, REI, Upwork Inc., Eileen Fisher Inc.

They are voting with their dollars for tyranny each time they buy from these companies.

Conservatism has a large spectrum of ideas. Some of them, especially from the federalist, I find to be quite irrational. The Federalist who, like modern liberals, are still fighting the civil war and they are responsible for the qualified & sovereign immunity mess and near race war we are in. Others just seem to be born out of shock entertainment [more of a side show] like the groypers [and some could say shock entertainment includes the westboro baptist church]-and Nick Fuentes' cookie analogy wasn't exactly rational except to give himself and the groypers exposure-which probably translates into more revenues. They mostly grew because big tech tried to replace old conservative voices with con inc/tp usa, and the groypers hit con inc hard where they were philosophically weakest-and Con inc has flip flop when politically convenient. TP USA still has some big voices left such as Ben Shapiro, but it has pretty much fizzled out. They are pretty much all at each others throats now. There is no 11th commandment going on. Meanwhile CPAC is still friendly to the media who gets conservatives canceled, and hostile to canceled conservatives.

Big tech dealt a huge blow to the conservative movement in banning Milo/Loomer/Jones/McInness, and many others. Maybe Parler will give allow them to rise up again, but many aren't too happy that Trump hasn't stood up for them, and it's not like they are going to do speaking tours during covid19. Additionally, they are unlikely to get much exposure to moderates and democrats and red pill them; mostly just preaching to the choir.

At least hive doesn't have that problem; we just need more users and more interaction.
