No. Fascists are not the same as conservatives. You can dislike both but it is dangerous to mix them up. People do all the time. Conservatives have fucked up a number of times and thought they were allies against socialism only to lose control and deeply regret it. They have some surface level similarities in attitudes to traditions and social conservative values but that is as far as it goes.
Fascists are looking for a route to absolute power and the complete destruction of democracy. They don’t care if you are a conservative, a Christian, an alt-health hippy, or someone who has has had a fight with the family court, tax department or traffic fines. They don’t care if you are a union member. It doesn’t matter. If you are pissed off and nobody is listening they will promise to help. Because if they can’t take power with force they will take it with the votes of the disaffected.
