This is a fundamental issue with the labels. "Conservatism" just means realizing that we're moving in a bad direction. It doesn't have a consistent goal. Sticking with how things were yesterday or in 1950s are both "conservative."
The only way this stops happening is if the right redefines itself with a specific objective. Which I think unlikely without major changes, because the right is currently just a loose collation of anti-left.
Honestly the leftist demonizing of conservatives made them way more romanticized. People are craving 1950s Americana and the best the “conservatives” can do is Reaganism platitudes
