QueenofZaun For decades, since the 1950’s the conservatives have called liberals communists?
You have NO idea what you are talking about. And once again, a RED STATE SUBSTITUTE TEACHER has to educate you
Today's Nazi/Communist Liberals did not exist in the 50s at all. In those days, the term "Liberal" meant laissez faire free market capitalist, with as little government as possible. Kinda like today's Libertarians. It was the Port Huron Statement in the early Sixties where the term "liberal" became the extremist Communist left wing definition of today. In the early 90s, liberals became Nazis as well, (since there was very little difference between the two ideologies anyway.) 
In the 50s, conservatives were merely people who rejected changed. The mother of the libertarian movement Ayn Rand had very little good to say about conservatives. Modern day conservatism (free markets, constitutional government, the rule of law) was pioneered in the Sixties by William F. Buckley and his National Review. This movement was refined by economics geniuses like Milton Friedman, Ronald Reagan, Rush Limbaugh, R. Emmett Tyrell, etc. 
President Trump was hardly a conservative original. He governed almost as a carbon copy of Reagan and  produced the best economy and world peace. He was just a businessman using the best model possible. 
Idiots try to paint Nixon with the conservative label. Nixon had the most liberal presidency in history, one that even Saddan Hussein Obama would have envied. 
To bring you up to speed to reality, today mainstream conservatism makes up the vast majority of thought in America. There ARE extreme right groups, known mostly as the alt right. They are a tiny minority. And they have a lot in common with the goose stepping left: They are on the wrong side of history, they are bigoted and they believe in identity politics. 
In 15 years, the definitions might change. But that is where we are today. The only REAL independents are Republicans, and that is because they are all over the landscape in ideology. Democrats are goose stepping Nazis in their single minded beliefs.
