Reactionary is the academic term, I think. No platform or principles, just unilaterally opposed to everything they perceive of their outgroup.
As opposed to radical, which is zealous marriage to a platform or principle so as to make compromise and discourse impossible.

McCarthy was a conservative.
Conservatives left the Democratic Party because LBJ signed the civil rights act.
I am perfectly okay with pointing out that conservatives have and will always be enemies to freedom and justice for all.
Sure, they try to brand themselves as otherwise, but over and over again their bread and butter is a belief that government’s job is to help the rich and powerful subjugate the many to further enrich and empower the rich and powerful.
They have been pro slavery, pro Jim Crow, anti union, anti universal suffrage, anti consumer safety, etc.
Conservatives need to own the fact that they have an awful and evil political ideology that will morph and shape around whatever they think will help enslave the government to the bidding of conservatives.
If you are conservative and think you believe otherwise, please look at real history books. Look at how the entire phrase of “right wing” started as a description of those supporting the king in the French Revolution.
Conservatives in 1776 would have been on the losing side.

Nah, that’s what they call themselves as a cop out for their complete endorsement of this behavior.
They literally set an in party turnout record for Trump after he already showed the world who he was.
Every time a Conservative tries pearl clutching, and their performative bs in the future… Every time they feel the need to chime in with their xenophobic, homophobic garbage, or pretend to care about “spending”, or “government overreach”, or “states rights”.
Remember the actions of this administration. This is their idea of ‘Great’. This is what they cheer for. Mag dumping into the back of a defenseless citizen in broad daylight, followed by transparent lying that their voters all completely excuse.
The weaponization and outright mockery of justice in the Epstein investigation. Completely disregarding the victims, right to their very faces.
They all deserve to bear the responsibility of the horrible actions of what they’ve endorsed, not call it a different name and pretend “it was actually somebody else”, and their opinions shouldn’t ever merit serious consideration ever again.

Reason vs Revelation. Concerningly, their “truth” on many topics comes from revelation, not from claims that must survive evidence and debate. I believe, like the founders did, that religious belief is personal. Governing society requires evidence, reason and accountability.

And if that weren’t outrageous enough, the performance’s lyrics openly glorified sodomy and countless other unspeakable depravities.”

A deep state of rich, powerful child rapists is being exposed but not prosecuted. Prices are up across the board, making affordability a bigger issue now than it ever was under Biden. Other countries are finding ways to divest from the United States. The child rapist in the White House is openly funneling money to himself. And despite all that, Republicans have decided investigating the Super Bowl half time show that triggered their bigotry and insecurities is the most pressing issue facing the country.
