1. The problem is that they are not conservative

They are to the right of conservatives, which you may notice is traditionally the space occupied by fascists.

I am not going to say they are National Socialist fascists (which are Nazis). However there are other forms of fascism, perhaps more benign. Even in its most benign form any concessions to a fascist are not going to be countered with any counter-concession. They will not meet you in the middle so what you end up with, trying to negotiate with a fascist, is that you end up appeasing them.

Posters here have attacked me for that opinion, which I find most curious. But there it is and I am not going to be bullied out of it by some anonymous loser sitting behind a keyboard thinking that attacking me for my opinion is some kind of "victory."

No appeasement. Please do not feed the trolls and all of that.
