"Sometimes people use “respect” to mean “treating someone like a person” and sometimes they use “respect” to mean “treating someone like an authority”
and sometimes people who are used to being treated like an authority say “if you won’t respect me I won’t respect you” and they mean “if you won’t treat me like an authority I won’t treat you like a person”
and they think they’re being fair but they aren’t, and it’s not okay."

I see three possibilities:
One, you have a different definition of conservative than what is currently the general definition of that label in the US.
Two, you're lying.
Three, you're in a country other than the United States and therefore 'conservative' doesn't mean the same thing in general to you.
Quick test: if you agree with or vote for any US Republican politician, you're just lying. In any other case, there may be a misunderstanding.
