Conservative is a word created for the purpose of identity persuasion. Nothing more.
Conservative has no logical or coherent reason for existing.While I assume it once had a noble birth, at this point it is just a hodgepodge of ideas that disagree with Democrats. Some of the individual ideas have merit, but they donât belong together in the same bag for any reason that is obvious to me. A year ago I could not have said what I just said without being drummed off of the Internet. But Trump has laid bare the ridiculousness of the conservative label. In 2016, the word conservative can be seen as a tool of influence â a shaming tool â used by the party elites to bring people together under their handpicked puppet.

Your Say
True enough. But that is only playing with words. You can say the same thing about 'Liberal' or 'Democrat' or a hundred other words which are used constantly in the USA.
I offer 'Ninjaracist', a person whose racism is never detected, or, (provide your own definition).

Just because some segments of society misuse the word conservative (they do the same with any number of words these days) doesn't mean it has no reason for existing.
Because certain misfits of society have hijacked the word "gay" should the original definition be stricken from the dictionaries?
There is, however, no connection between the word conservative and current american politics but there is with the word criminal.
