I get the feeling that you're equating "conservatives" with some worst-case stereotype, and since your friends aren't like that, you conclude that they aren't "really" conservatives.  Maybe you just live too close to all those politicians?

Yes, that's exactly what I was trying to say ... the title "conservative" has been taken over by the alt-right. Hence, those who are not alt-right must not be conservative. I'm goofing around with semantics, but I presume you get the point.

Don't forget I live in the South, and in fact in the very capitol of the Confederacy. Conservatism here may be somewhat different than what you're used to, simply because of this state's history. Racism is still a real thing here, and its adherents vote Republican; and the Republican party relies on that. Do they espouse it? No. But they avoid alienating that element of their base. Maybe it's not surprising, then, if they get tarred with the same brush.

The alt-right is a bunch of blatant white supremacists (and apparently quite proud of it).  I suppose every movement has a noisy faction that gets a disproportionately large share of the media's attention -- but saying (even half in jest) that conservative equals alt-right will only help legitimize them, which would be a great disservice to the decent folks who make up the majority of conservatives.
