It is funny that these things are done by """conservatives""". To be conservative means to conserve things, keep them as they are, and to develop them further guided by traditional values. These """conservatives""" are not conserving anything, they are destroying old institutions with the motivation to build an autocracy.

"Reactionary" is the term you're looking for.

Probably.

The linked article calls them conservatives, which seems like something they'd like to call themselves as well.

They're not """conservatives""" they're """textualists"""
