Most western conservatives are economically liberal, though there are certainly stupIDPol or maga “communism” types.
In general, the left-right political spectrum that implies liberals can be leftist or that conservatives can’t be liberals is oversimplified, inaccurate, and not how the vast majority of people actually view politics.
