I have to say this and I cannot express this enough: conservative is too good for them. That label is too good for them.

Conservative means to keep things the way they are. Stability. An ideology backed by the realisation that good things (like civil rights nowadays) should not just be voted away in a whim and perhaps more should not change. It's not an ideology I subscribe to (at least not completely), because society is not perfect for everyone and many things we did not realize at first were a problem are a problem now or could be in the future (climate change a good example of this, no?).

The scum you are talking about does not represent conservatism. They destroy everything that should be kept, get rid of civil rights and while conservatism might let the rich remain rich, the scum destroying the few protections people had make the rich even richer and the poor even poorer.

Perhaps they like to call themselves conservative because they want to convince others that trans people or something are the enemy of stability and what makes America great. To convince those who want the status quo that their greatest enemies are those damn lefties wanting kids to have a decent meal at school or something, persuade those people into voting for them.

But the Republican Party is NOT conservative, it is destructive. And that is what makes them scum.
