It's that people like JBP want to slow the insane march of leftist because they fear a dramatic, violent backlash from the right in response. They fear the rise of the next Hitler, of some violent authoritarian who never would have come to power if the left simply slowed down. One who might mass execute millions of people, get millions more killed in wars, or possibly something far worse - we are living in the nuclear age, after all.

It's a position primarily born out of fear. Not necessarily one that respects conservative values or opposes leftist dogma.

It is also the Fabian Socialist theory. Just go slowly. Don't actually do anything tangibly different, just do what we are currently doing, slowly.

Hot take, I also think that is the primary difference between electing someone like Hillary vs someone like Trump.
