Conservatism will always tend towards an extreme and anti-democratic hierarchy - monarchy, autocracy, etc. By it's very nature, the values underpinning what it means to be "conservative" are anathema to freedom, liberty, and and open society.
Trumpism seeks to concentrate as much power as possible, previously unheard of power, in the hands of not just the Federal gov’t, but of one solitary man.
It’s the antithesis of classic conservatism.
