I wouldn't call it "thinking". Conservatives react more than anything. They react to progress (--> hate), change (--> hate) and things they're not familiar with (--> hate). They don't pro-actively think per se.
There used to be a difference between conservative and reactionary
The entire definition of "conservative" is built around "conserving" something that would otherwise be threatened by progress. Their entire thing is reacting to social progress and trying to prevent it.
