    I would say that it can at its core, but most politicians and parties who claim to be conservative cannot, especially in the US, because they aren’t even remotely conservative anymore and are just using the name to pander for votes.

    If you wanted to list republicans that are conservative, you’d need to dust off a history book.

      That sounds an awful lot like a no true scotsman fallacy. But I agree with the rest of what you said.
