Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit:
There must be in-groups whom the law protectes but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.
There is nothing more or else to it, and there never has been, in any place or time.

During my early student days in Chicago, I used to work part time for a good sized two family owned business. A co-worker also a student told me once that "in this country you don't get put in jail for committing a crime, only if you are dumb enough to get caught". Gives new meaning to what he said reading the punch line from your post.

I can’t decide whether MAGAMorons are really this stupid, or just downright evil.
