Yup. Frank Wilhoit (not that Frank Wilhoit):  

There is no such thing as liberalism — or progressivism, etc.
There is only conservatism. No other political philosophy actually exists; by the political analogue of Gresham’s Law, conservatism has driven every other idea out of circulation.  
There might be, and should be, anti-conservatism; but it does not yet exist. What would it be? In order to answer that question, it is necessary and sufficient to characterize conservatism. Fortunately, this can be done very concisely.  
Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: 
There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect. 
There is nothing more or else to it, and there never has been, in any place or time.  
For millenia, conservatism had no name, because no other model of polity had ever been proposed. “The king can do no wrong.” In practice, this immunity was always extended to the king’s friends, however fungible a group they might have been. Today, we still have the king’s friends even where there is no king (dictator, etc.). Another way to look at this is that the king is a faction, rather than an individual.  
As the core proposition of conservatism is indefensible if stated baldly, it has always been surrounded by an elaborate backwash of pseudophilosophy, amounting over time to millions of pages. All such is axiomatically dishonest and undeserving of serious scrutiny. Today, the accelerating de-education of humanity has reached a point where the market for pseudophilosophy is vanishing; it is, as The Kids Say These Days, tl;dr . All that is left is the core proposition itself — backed up, no longer by misdirection and sophistry, but by violence.  

(emphasis mine)
It tracks with the moral foundations theory: social conservatives have a "diverse" morality where moral values of in-group loyalty, respect for authority, and sanctity/purity ~~compromise~~ 'are valued "equally" to' moral values of fairness, care/harm (to others), and liberty. Worst of all? They genuinely believe they’re good, righteous people.
It actually shows he received a five million dollar refund in 2020. >

Which is nothing compared to the $72 million refund he got in 2010
Trump’s Seventy-Three-Million-Dollar Tax Refund Is the Biggest Outrage of All

From 2005 to 2007, this latest Times scoop reveals, he did finally pay about seventy million dollars to the Internal Revenue Service. But then, in 2010, he demanded a full refund for those tax payments. And the I.R.S. acceded to his request: it paid him $72.9 million, including interest. This 2010 refund seems to be at the center of an auditing dispute between Trump and the tax authorities that has dragged on for almost a decade. It also appears to be the money that Michael Cohen, Trump’s former personal lawyer, was referring to in his 2019 testimony to Congress, when he recalled Trump showing him a huge check from the U.S. Treasury and remarked that Trump “could not believe how stupid the government was for giving someone like him that much money back.” >

Might be a dumb question, but was any of this legal?  Like did he just exploit some bullshit loopholes, or was it full on fraud? >

Trump reported that his businesses incurred major losses hence the refund. It's those losses he reported that is in question. >

His expenses are pretty suspicious too. >

The report also revealed that the mandatory IRS audit for 2016, wasn't actually going on at all. It didn't get started until 2019, the day that the new Democratic chair requested info on the "ongoing" audit. >

Its funny watching Elon Musk and others pretend the FBI was out to get Trump. Clearly multiple agencies, including FBI, IRS, DOJ and DHS were all very compromised in favoring Trump and that had to come from Trump and his appointees. >

In-group loyalty is a foundational value of conservatism. Fox News and the right-wing blogosphere have taken it to a level where any sort of criticism must be coming from outside sources. 
Notice that liberals are OK with removing and punishing wrongdoers within their own parties, e.g. Al Franken. In conservative circles, it's always the deep state or some shit.
