"They fired sniper rifles at ICE agents, and me. You know. But I was -- I made a turn at a good time. I turned to the right. Charlie couldn't believe it, actually.

"Conservatives: The radical left are ... " #1,727
The quotation as it appears in the meme in #1,727 may (or may not) be accurate.
The attribute, "Conservatives" is conspicuously, disparagingly not.

The root word of "conservatives" is "conserve".
Political conservatism has existed in the U.S. for centuries.
Since WWII political conservatism has mean promoting smaller, less intrusive, less authoritarian government.

The quotation in #1,727 is at best a mis-attribute, or worse a libelous lie.
For decades Republicans have been running this scam, parading their agenda as conservatism, to lend unearned unwarranted credibility and prestige to it.
Are they even fooling themselves?

"...the magnificently misnamed "neo-conservatives", are the most radical people in this town [Washington DC]" George Will / ABC-TV This Week July 16, 2006
 
"The Democrat Party's main constituency are [sic] made up of Hamas terrorists, illegal aliens, and violent criminals." ~ WH Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt

Reporter, asking about Trump's upcoming meeting with Putin:
"Who picked Budapest?" ~ WH Communications Director Steven Cheung: "Your mom."
 
"The Democrat Party's main constituency are [sic] made up of Hamas terrorists, illegal aliens, and violent criminals." ~ WH Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt
The dictionary definition of key words in this Leavitt sentence demonstrate this quotation false.

Can we read between the lines here? The literal meaning of these words as displayed here is absurd.
But if this opinion was expressed on the record, it suggests such speech is accepted off the record, in Trump's inner circle.

So?
It indicates more of a problem than merely WH Press Secretary on bad hair day. It's an indication the Trump administration has deliberately selected this flavor of Kool-aid.
"What is objectionable, what is dangerous, about extremists is not that they are extreme, but that they are intolerant. The evil is not what they say about their cause, but what they say about their opponents." Robert Kennedy (1925-68)
