Nope. They are conservatives, just as Evangelical Christians are still Christian.

I know what you are getting at and we want to avoid No True Scotsman, but what is going on now is reactionary populist nihilism, and is not really conservative at all. It has the same Utopian impulses of authoritarian movements over the last 230 years and that is anathema to (most) traditional conservative thinking.

As to modern Evangelical Christians, I firmly believe much of the movement has fallen into idolatry and heresy. I don’t use those words in an ironic Warhammer 40K meme sense. Good oped here from the Washington Post that also makes that point.
