Conservatives are liberals. Liberalism is the ideology of capitalism, if they are in favor of capitalism they are liberals. Conservatism is a sub ideology within liberalism. The people the American media and academia call ‘liberals’ (the democrats) actually promote IDPOL and blanket neoliberalist policies. Neoliberalism is an implementation of capitalism, an economic reorganizing of it similar to social democracy in that sense. A more apt descriptor for the democrats as well as the republicans is neoliberals.

Some of these politicians advocate for libertarianism or neoconservatism or even social democracy but they all must conform to the economic status quo which supports the class they serve (the bourgeoisie) which is neoliberalism. Even the edgier ones like Trump as seen in action, or Bernie if allowed into office, would have to conform to these interests or be purged.
Libertarianism and neoconservatism are basically just neoliberalism too. (Socdem is different, but there is no real movement toward such, so it doesn’t matter who claims it). Libertarianism is just neoliberalism before the Kochs realized they could have their ideology right in the mainstream instead of some third party. neoconservativism is basically neoliberalism ‘s foreign policy, but mostly when republicans do it. (Bush was called a neocon for invading Iraq and so on while Obama didn’t get such a label even though he continued those policies).
“Libertarianism and neoconservatism are basically just neoliberalism too.”
Yes they were both created after the advent and implementation of neoliberalism, however I could see libertarianism spreading to classical liberalism too, especially considering the resurgence of classical liberalism is within Russia and their cozy nature with the conservative collective here in the states.
