Those people are progressives, not conservatives.
What "progress" are they making?
We used to be "The Nation of Immigrants". They want to progress beyond that old nonsense.
I liked our old ways.

ETA ~Were I able,
I'd make a video of modern GOP leaders pulling down The Statue of Liberty, with all that "send me your poor" stuff they've progressed beyond.~
The term you are looking for is actually "right-wing populist".
Nevertheless, I am a Conservative and Trump is a Progressive.
Welcome to the brave new world.

Pulling in a stupid direction for stupid reasons is not progressive.
Especially when they tell themselves they're 'returning' to a mythical past of American purity and dominance.
Stupid is a rather subjective judgement.
Hillary was advocating small, incremental, changes. Trump was advocating huge sweeping changes.
That makes Hillary the conservative choice and Trump the progressive choice.
I don't even know what liberal means any more. It doesn't seem to mean anything. It's a label partisan dumbasses use to tell the viewers what to think before the dumbass says anything important.
Thomas Jefferson was a notorious liberal who owned black people. Stalin is viewed as a leftist, when he looks more like a TeaPartier with power than AOC.
These words just get so complex in the 21st century.
