They have created many of the problems they try to fix. Much of the social ills this country has had to repair over the years were borne from conservative thinking.

If the idiots would just follow the damn simple wording in the Constitution the problems would never have occurred.

Add in the fact many consider themselves to be so religious yet they actually fail those words and lessons too, so you end up with righteous mistakes that are out of order civilly and with their religion.

Honestly, I’m legitimately hard pressed to think of a single cultural issue the right has been on the correct side of in our history.
Let’s see
Emancipation? Nope, conservatives either defended slavery’s legality and morality or opposed its abolition.
Women’s suffrage? Nope.
Civil rights for minority groups? Again nope despite their revisionism, conservatives were very much opposed to Civil Rights if not on racial grounds, the folly of states rights ground.
Gay marriage? Nope.
And it will continue. Social conservatism especially is a flawed ideology because social conservatism cannot accept change and change is what drives society.
