I am so, so tired of everyone apply "conservative" to outright nonsense. We should say "republican" or "trumpian" instead.

There is nothing conservative in many of the far-right ideas, by any definition of the word. If the idea or opinion is:

1) Based on pure hate

2) Based on treating a protected class badly - you know, the whole reason we have class protections

3) Based on NOTHING AT ALL, no facts given, other than sometimes a turtles-all-the-way-down derivation of other crazy opinions, and sometimes with a "make it true" initiative bringing up the rear. Speculation is not a position. Speculation is not a position. SPECULATION IS NOT A POSITION!

those are NOT Conservative. Those are crazy. Especially #3, employed all the time by the current POTUS.

I personally believe the Conservative movement has actually been wildly successful over the last several decades, and the country has shifted significantly to the right.

Now, all that remains is the crazy. That is all the right has to differentiate itself, and they're going all in.

Anyway, TLDR: crazy is not Conservative, please use Trumpian or Republican if that fits. Also, speculation is not a position :)
