Personally, I like to think of myself the other way around - a "con-prog". Progressive values at heart, but implemented through a conservative mindset (which I consider the only realistic way to get progressive shit done in an unhealthy democracy like ours).

Agree with Golden, but his place based ideology also gives cover to those politicians with very bad ideas and that support extremism.
The best example is support for de facto open borders. When your district is full of illegal immigrants it makes sense to advocate for open borders.
And you get support for this open borders policy from everyone going from AOC to Espaillat (a politician the Welcome Party treats as a "moderate").
