If you are literally angry your favorite corporately owned chain restaurant changed their logo and/or their decor, you got bigger problems.
I find nostalgia in general fascinating, and it was funny, I watched this Fox News / Gutfeld clip and I think maybe with one exception, none of them had been to Cracker Barrel, and it makes sense, if you’re a Fox News host, you’re probably a city person. I think even Christopher Rufo who led the culture war charge against it didn’t really go.
But it’s anger at this abstract attack on “Americana”(this is the best explanation I’ve seen for why some people have called it woke) that only some of our grandparents truly value anymore. And the weird thing is, if the brand really is dying, attempts to stop it from changing will only hasten its demise.
Anyways, fascinating.
Otherwise, what are they conserving?
They're conserving the things they like as they are, while letting things they don't like change.
This is such a ridiculous strawman view - like saying progressives think all change is good.
I'm just saying that, in general, conservatives exist in opposition to change.
EDIT: I checked the dictionary. It literally means "a person who is averse to change and holds traditional values."
It's literally in the name.
