Democracy and conservatism are not two opposing terms. You might be
amused to know that `democracy' is a form of government or political
system for governance, whereas `conservatism' is a term used to judge
the extent of traditionalism or liberalism or advocacy of freedom in a
person, idea, or agency or whatever at a given point of time with the
parameters dictated by the given society.

There are conservative ideas, persons, politicians, governments and even
communists, they all can form part of a democractic system.

I assume, you meant liberal with the word 'democratic'.
