Stop framing backward-looking nationalists as conservative. They don’t want to conserve the status quo. They want society to go back to the 1930s.
MamboGatorThen conservative parties worldwide should stop courting fascists in a desperate attempt to remain relevant. Simple as that. Every western conservative party I can name is so far right in 2024 that they’re licking the gunpowder residue out of the bullet hole in Hilter’s decaying skull.
I’m sorry but this really doesn’t apply to a lot of European political landscapes. In Germany for example the biggest conservative party, CDU, is still very much just annoyingly “conservative”, but definitely not “licking the gunpowder residue out of the bullet hole in Hilter’s decaying skull”.
And the conservative German nazi party (AFD) is in second place in E.U. elections right now. The conservative plague is on the rise globally, including in Europe.
Conservatives are fascists. The more conservative one is, the more fascist one is.

FIFY
They are deeply conservative. The more conservative one gets, the more fascist one gets.
AFD didn’t just suddenly abandon their conservative ideologies as they became more nationalist. Their conservatism is baked into their core ideology. Even they will tell you they are conservative. They are on the completely opposite end of the spectrum from progressives.
Conservatism is the very foundation upon which fascism is built. Conservatism is a spectrum. This is how they can convince some moderate conservatives to vote for them. They share the same values; they just lean further to the right than moderate conservatives on some issues.
