Here's the fundamental psychological difference between whether people want to join a liberal part or a conservative party.
Conservatives don't like change. Their aggressive narratives always head towards a "return the the past" ideology. The will destroy a good present to replace it with a worse "how things used to be" system.
Liberals are the opposite and love change in a way you might call an addiction. They'll repaint the house 5 times while the groceries melt in the car just to entertain themselves. Their narratives require changing things all the time to the point that when they run out of a good direction to go in - they'll replace a decently working system with a worse shittier system just to feel like they changed things.
When has any anglosphere conservative party ever moved backwards? They only adopt yesterday's progressive position and pretend it was always their values. It won't be long before conservatives are shouting that they have always been the party of pedophillia but forcing dogs to fuck children is too far.
Birth control is bad, abstinence only (used to be how it was)
Reducing or getting rid of medicare and social security (there didn't use to be these things, paul ryan)
I'm not commenting on whether they're good or bad, just that there's a consistent theme if you look for it of popularized conservative themes being some sort of "it didn't use to be this way let's go back".
Liberal themes are always about change, including taking a decently working system and replacing it with something much worse just to see change happen.

Look through conservative political themes.
