Interpreting the constitution and your politics

This keeps coming up a lot that by arguing the constitutional positions I do that I'm defending the bad acts done by people like Trump. In general, I argue that the conservative/Republican constitution. But it isn't a conservative value.

Liberals generally believe the liberal constitution and that it a good thing. Conservatives believe the conservative constitution and that is a good thing.

I believe the constitution is conservative and that is a bad thing.

But for some reason, most people seem to think the constitution is good enough and favors their positions which produce good. And I don't understand how so many arrive at that position. Americans don't generally go around thinking Juche is aligned with their political philosophy and it is Kim jong Un is perverting it.

It reminds me of the phrase, "isnt it convenient that you were born in the country where the majority of the population belongs to the one true religion." It makes less sense that progressivism aligns with a 250 year old document than a conservative one. At least conservatives can point to their judges value women and minorities as lesser citizens just like the voters for the constitution did.
