My takeaway is that they've completely equated "conservative" with "wrongthinker" and the two are virtually interchangeable in every context where they refer to it. It's not debate, it's not a differing opinion or viewpoint, it's just dismissed as "this person is wrong and I am right so long as I disagree with everything they say, think, and represent."
The sheer number of them that see it this way is some scary shit.
