It's wired in, it's blatant, and it's old news, but to me it remains pretty remarkable that the establishment press in the U.S. uses the term "conservative" to mean any action the extreme right wing favors.
The more extreme the act, the more "conservative" are the actors!
Thus, the Freedom Caucus in the House — the members of which are the most ready to let the U.S. default on its debt — are routinely described as the most conservative faction in the government.
Clearly we need a new terminology to describe these maga people. Definitely not "conservative." "Fascist" may be accurate, but I think too many people don't really understand what fascist means (including me). "Terrorist" also works, but that word carries too much baggage. Personally, l'm going to call these magas "anarchists."

The person that coined the word fascism, Mussolini, said it is the merger of government and private businesses.
