Conservative in politics is the same as in conservative in using the gas pedal, conservative in how much butter one puts on toast, conservative in estimates.
It’s about using as little as possible. As in “small government”.
A liberal helping of mashed potatoes is a big helping. A conservative golf swing is one designed to keep the ball from going too far. It’s the same concept when applied to politics.
If that was true conservatives wouldn’t be trying to speedrun the running longstanding public programs into the ground or overturning decades of precedent.

They don’t mean the same thing.
You’re thinking of Republicans, not conservatives.
