While I am quite sympathetic to the argument, PragerU would need to disagree (if we assume they actually believe their videos are true). So they are American conservatives in the sense that they argue that free markets have the right outcomes, and more importantly they are originalists, that is they argue that one should interpret the US constitution as intended when written, not in a sense, what the principle would tell one when we imagine the US constitution was written today.

Probably "originalists", although they may also be orientalists too :)

Indeed, fixed.

They are originalists when they believe it benefits them, otherwise they probably don't care much.
