Simple.
1. Small/limited Federal Government with most of the "power" relegated to the states.
2. Personal responsibility. It is your responsibility to create the life you need then working on the life you want. It's not the government's job to do so. Student loan forgiveness is a perfect example of something the government should not be taking part in. As a matter of fact the only loaning the government should be in involved in are issuing of Bills/Notes/Bonds. The caveat to this if you are physically or mentally disabled. We must always take care of those folks.
It is, of course, more nuanced that that but those are the two major tenants of what being a conservative means to me.
