How's about
: conservatives don't want anything or anyone being different from their ideal (branches). Therefore, they like to cut off the branches (make everything illegal, remove people that are different from their society), which will leave them with only a core of similar people, all "perfect", and all equally close-minded (sharp pointy stick).
