If by "moderate conservative" you mean the type of people who also fund a site like Breitbart. I think we're pretty safe in calling them "far-right".

I'm sorry if this comes across sounding harsh, as I don't know you at all, but your comment sounds like the opinion of someone in a lefty filter bubble.

Where I'm from, "far-left" and "far-right" means "people who think violence is a legitimate means to enact their ideology."

So that includes Nazis, the KKK, and communist revolutionaries. It does not include Rebecca Mercer or Breitbart.

Check out this data: [1]. Breitbart is only a smidge more conservative than Fox News, and Fox News is the #1 watched cable news channel in the country. That is called "mainstream." Presumably, the "far-right" would be "far" beyond the mainstream.
