May they be replaced with an actual conservative party.

May they absolutely do no such thing. Actual conservatives just want things to stay the same forever, that's the original definition, to conserve the institutions and society of the present.

I'm not a conservative, but I think it's important to have people advocating for continuity with the past. Sometimes change is good, sometimes it isn't. People who think it isn't should have a political party that represents them. An actual conservative party, for example, would be defending democracy and not trying to usurp it.

Yeah you need people who are able to identify what from the past we should keep and what we should yeet. That is what a conservative should be. But aren't.
