Not in the US. Modern conservatism in the US is tied to the individualistic self-reliance movement that rejects the concept of rulers at the top in favor of States' rights and local governance. It is classically liberal with special emphasis on individual autonomy, limited government, economic freedom, political freedom and freedom of speech.
You may be confusing it with conservativism in the UK/EU.
The current conservative movement is all in on monarchy, not what you are proposing. Look at Moldbug/Yarvin for their current philosophy.
Not at all, stop getting political commentary from reddit comments. Bush, Romney, McCain were all in the past two decades.

The current Republican party's platform follows classical liberalism: "Classical liberalism is a political tradition and a branch of liberalism that advocates free market and laissez-faire economics and civil liberties under the rule of law, with special emphasis on individual autonomy, limited government, economic freedom, political freedom and freedom of speech."[0]
You can argue that Trump isn't following that, but it is what the Republican party has incorporated into it's platform for decades.

Notably none of the free market stuff is part of their current platform.
Yes, that is what I typed in my comment above.
>which is something the dominating political factions are highly against.
