Actually, yes. A lot of the Dem politicians are conservative, and oh so many of the Republicans are regressive. No, really, if your aim as a group is to move things backwards, against the wishes of the vast majority of the developed world, you're not conserving anything so much as regressing.

Mhm.

If conservatives stayed in power, and they actually conserved instead of regressed, we would still be in the confederate times. Women wouldn't vote, women would have no body autonomy, kids would be working in coal mines, schools wouldn't exist, basic technology infrastructure wouldn't exist, slaves would still exist.

Every single thing that you take for granted is because of progressives. You could argue that they're mostly regressive now, which I would agree with because their idea of conservative is unchanged: they want it to be like it was in the 1800's again.
