I would say the modern conservative is an improvement over the conservative of 20 years ago. 20 years ago the conservative was a corporatist and an Israeli nationalist. Today the conservative is populist and an American nationalist. 20 years ago the conservative was pro-war, because war was in Israel's interests. But today the conservative is anti-war, because war is against America's interests.
My question is: How easily can American conservatives be manipulated into supporting stupid positions again?
