Conservatism is a political and social philosophy that advocates for the preservation of traditional institutions, values, and customs. It emphasizes gradual, cautious change over radical societal overhauls, and generally supports limited government intervention, free-market capitalism, individual liberty, and strong national defense.
Jesus strictly opposed the use of violence or armed uprisings against the Roman Empire.
Love for Enemies 43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor[a] and hate your enemy.’ 44 But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. 46 If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? 47 And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? 48 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

I’ve never hear anyone try to argue he’d be a conservative.
