Traditional conservatives don't like it, the problem is that most of the parties that call themselves conservative or liberal (in US terminology or the equivalent terms in other countries) are actually all just right wing authoritarian parties with slightly different tactics to convince people to support them. Authoritarianism needs to control the narratives and to do that have an easy way to crack down on dissenters. Heck the term "rednecks" used to originally refer to left wing, labor rights activists. They just got manipulated into becoming sheep for the far right using single issue politics.
