Ultraconservatism refers to extreme conservative views in politics or religious practice.[1] In modern politics, ultraconservative usually refers to conservatives of the far-right on the political spectrum, comprising groups or individuals who are located to the right of those who hold mainstream conservative views, and continuing further right to include fringe parties.[2]

Elements of ultraconservatism typically rely on cultural crisis; they frequently support anti-globalism – adopting stances of anti-immigration, nationalism, and sovereignty – and use populism and political polarization, with in-group and out-group practices.[3][4] In the United States, the primary economic ideology for most ultraconservatives is neoliberalism.[5] The use of conspiracy theories is also common amongst ultraconservatives.[6]
