They really weren’t tho. You had traditional conservatives (what, say, Trump pretends to be), small-business Chamber of Commerce conservatives, neocons, evangelicals, and some amount of neoliberals that identified as conservative, along with independents-who-trend-R like Libertarians.
There used to be very strong pro-welfare conservatives, pro-environment conservatives, etc sprinkled throughout the entire mix.
Those groups have been driven away or subsumed into nationalists and evangelicals.
This is just ignorant man. The GOP, especially prior to the late 90s, was a coalition party the same way the Dems are. They now are not.
You don’t have to agree with anything the old GOP stood for to recognize this fact.

Let me know when he starts pushing monarchism, “return to Christian values,” opposes unions, and turns against his populist base.

It’s not an ad hominem if it is both relevant to the topic and correct.
I didn’t say you supported monarchy. I said that center-right group in Norway does. Bernie Sanders is not center-right in Europe
