conservative are christian democrats (in the US a close equivalent would be Rockefeller Reps), à la Charlie Baker. Those are the real Reps. Trumpists and the like are RINOs.
a conservative is interested in keeping things as is, stable, favouring democracy (even if imperfect). They prefer to avoid a perceived ‘haste’ in change, but do not outright oppose it.
a fascist opposes both; they above all break down labour rights and align with the reactionary, irresponsible bourgeoise, rather than the proletariat whose labour they employ. Fascism favours the radical change into militarism to enforce its will, rather than building bridges through dialogue.
ike was the last of his kind. the civil rights acts of the 1960s broke the republican party… voter rights, desegregation… they could not (and still cannot) handle those people being equal. the ‘modern’ republican party is defined by their hatred.

Regressive militaristic enforcement of hierarchy and in/out groups is absolutely “conservatism” at its core.
Some “conservatives” may not agree with every single point but the ideology remains the same.
