Well, just like "liberals", there's different flavors of conservatives out there, and this has always been the case. There's the pro-big-business old-school Republicans, for instance, on one side, and on the other side you basically have nationalistic fascists. These days, in America, the "conservatives" are swaying closer to the latter side. But even the milder ones, because of their generally pro-business and anti-regulation stance, can be a problem in the context of this story, because that mindset generally seems to lead to too much power with the corporations, too much regulatory capture, etc.
