I agree with that. But what is happening now isn't the traditional conservatism of 'low taxes, small government'. Look what happened to Liz Chenney, a traditional conservative if anybody can be called one, when she dared to claim Biden won the election.
Liz Cheney belongs to the neoconservative wing of the GOP just like her father and both of the Presidents Bush. All had no compunction with growing the size of government when it came to their policy of regime change abroad.
She didn't get censured for her spending or foreign policies, but because she dared to say out loud that Biden won the election and that the Jan.6 insurrection was a bad thing.
