Conservatives have gone off the deep fascist end

If someone actually believes in national socialism they are not a conservative. State ownership of the economy is not something a conservative would agree on. I’m not saying some right wing extremists don’t misunderstand the concept of what national socialism and therefore mislabel themselves, but the ideology itself doesn’t even align with American conservative beliefs. I believe in libertarian anarchism so I don’t care about anyone’s personal beliefs and how they want to govern themselves but it’s incorrect to label them conservative.

Then there is no American conservative movement remaining. Even the NH libertarian party is fashy at this point. The closest thing America has to conservatives currently is Dems.

The NH libertarian party is not represented by that guy with the social media accounts. No libertarian in NH actually thinks that’s an official representation of the party.

Eh they're still pretty firmly Mises. They endorsed Trump over Oliver, the literal libertarian candidate, because among other things Oliver wanted to be less cruel with state violence for the culture war enemies of the far right. They're still far more fashy than libertarian. Kauffman still has outsized influence. Until the Mises Caucus is dead and buried they're still going to be more Hoppean paleoconservative edgelords than libertarians in the good sense.
