People need to quit using the word "conservative" to describe these right-wing lunatics.
When people are lunatics, they engage in lunatic behavior as demonstrated by the recent meeting of the fascistic 21st century Hitler Youth, aka Turning Point USA.
Snip:
Ben Shapiro, a prominent conservative commentator, opened the event with a scathing takedown of a slew of Republican pundits, including some he accused of elevating conspiracy theories and antisemitism.
“The conservative moment is also in danger from charlatans who claim to speak in the name of principle, but actually traffic in conspiracism and dishonesty,” Shapiro said. “These people are frauds, and they are grifters, and they do not deserve your time.”
Throughout his remarks on Thursday, Shapiro chewed out Candace Owens for promoting “baseless trash” about Kirk’s murder, blasted Megyn Kelly for failing to hold Owens accountable, criticized Tucker Carlson for his normalizing of Fuentes and derided Steve Bannon as a former “PR flack for Jeffrey Epstein.”

Shapiro will never abandon his own right-wing lunacy, but it is still nonetheless entertaining to see him blast the even more lunatic fringe of the political right.

These lunatics will still spread the mythical "Christian nation" idea because it is a convenient way to soften the public up for their Christofascist takeover and misusing the law to force their weird beliefs down everybody else's throats.
