Being called racist or anti-Semitic has lost all it’s ‘punch” by overuse by one’s foes who have nothing left to argue.

Agreed, but Europe's so called "right wing" parties genuinely do have elements that do not mark mainstream American conservatism. The founder of the National Front Party, Jean Marie Le Pen outright denied the Holocaust...

This kind of thing has held back meaningful conservatism from gaining traction in European countries for decades.

Even now, it is important to recognize that Europe's problem found their roots since before the migrant crisis. Not everything can be pinned or blamed on Muslims.

Even with my limited knowledge of European politics I’ve learned that American politics labels do not easily fit European political parties.
Many like the Nationalist Front do not like Americans(at least the Le Pen patriarch did at times)

British conservative parties are, well, nuts and ‘conserve” a lot of what American conservative find distasteful to say the least.
So I tend to tread carefully when picking sides in these threads.
