Let's not confuse the extreme right with conservatism - period. Trump ran on the extreme right ticket. Others in Europe do too. Other than that there's a broad range of conservatism. I was a conservative once. Right now I could imagine to vote for someone like Merkel. I could never vote for the likes of Trump or May in Britain. But even Trump and May are very distinct characters in what they stand for.
