He acknowledges that there is an important role for conservatism, but it must be a “genuine” conservatism that preserves but does not seek to overturn liberal gains.

Using that logic, Ronald Reagan should never have gained a single conservative vote. What a maroon - if you do not fight liberalism, it becomes a cancer that consumes liberty, industry and morality. And history shows that the response of liberals to the failure of liberal policies is not to reconsider those policies - instead, they believe that those policies were just not tried hard enough, and they will puruse those policies to the point of absurdity - and tyranny. So since liberals will not correct their failings, it is up to conservatives to point out those failings and force corrections.
