Good point, but an easy mistake to make. We're in a situation where the loudest Republican voices assert they are the most conservative people, while doing very unconservative things.
Deficit spending increases during the Trump administration were at levels that would make conservatives blush, just as one example.
President Trump's friendliness to Russia was also very new for a group that coined the phrase "Evil Empire".
I am not opining on whether these things were good or bad, only noting that they were not conservative.
