Why Are Conservatives So Hated?

I don't and never have been politically conservative. However, I grew up hearing a lot of anti-conservative bias all around me, often distorting ideas around right-wing schools of thought. 'Right-wing' is often viewed as a slur and a dirty word. While I abhor right-wing extremism (just as I abhor leftist extremism), moderate schools of right-wing thought (e.g. classical liberalism) are not all bad. We need to stop seeing being socially/fiscally conservative as 'bad' or 'evil' if we want to have open-minded discussions.
