| − | '''Conservative Inc.''' (also abbreviated as "Con Inc.") is a pejorative term used to describe the mindset of unprincipled people who view the [[conservative movement]] as a way to make money, rather than help others. Conservative Inc. is loose coalition of self-interested [[RINOs]]/[[neoconservative]]s, [[token conservative]]s, [[Establishment]] [[Republicans]], consultants, organizations, PACs, etc., who try to claim leadership of the [[conservative]] movement while enriching or otherwise benefiting themselves. Members of Conservative Inc. market themselves as authentically conservative to the public (usually during election years), yet hold widely [[liberal]] positions, and hinder true conservatism. The billionaire, mega-donor financiers of Conservative Inc. (such as the [[Koch Brothers]] and [[George Soros]]) monopolize the movement without disclosing their agenda, which includes [[open borders]] and [[globalism]]. They also consistently fail to defend [[movement conservatives]] in the face of [[left-wing]] attacks.<ref>Kozak, Edmund (May 14, 2019).
