Conservatives have always been the bad guys in the usa. Parties don't matter
Just in the USA..?
There is a place for actual conservatives, people who want to change things slowly and make sure we aren't breaking shit with our changes.
But what calls themselves conservatives these days would be more accurately referred to as reactionaries, who want to reverse many changes that have been made and go back to some old time they preferred.
I am not sure if the relabeling of reactionaries into conservatives was always a global phenomenon, I think in many countries, at least until recently, conservatives were really just conservative and not reactionary. But I can't say for sure.
If you want to find out if someone is a conservative or a reactionary, ask about environment. Someone who's into conserving things will want to conserve nature as well
I'd just call them regressives
The only conservatives which I give some healthy degree of respect are the European and maybe Japanese conservatives. I can't comment on conservatives from other places as I don't know much about them, but the American conservatives are bat shit insane. There are far and few sane American conservatives are drowned by loud crazy ones.
