    Or radical conservatives. Or conservative theocrats.

    The common element is always conservatism.

      But what are they wanting to “conserve”? Has the US ever even been what they want it to become in project 2025? Maybe in reconstruction South…

        While debatable, I believe they want to conserve a systemic hierarchy of social privilege or sense of superiority. Regardless, human cultures (at least since the renaissance) appear to have an observable gradient of ideologies that span from progressive/egalitarian to regressive/discriminatory. In western cultures, we usually refer to the latter as conservative, despite the debatability of what, exactly, they are “trying to preserve”. As polarized as we are in modern U.S. politics, “conservative” is practically a team name.
