far-right
Radical conservative fringe
Far-right describes political positions at the extreme conservative end of the spectrum, typically characterized by ultranationalism, authoritarianism, nativism, or racial politics.
The term often carries negative connotations, implying views outside mainstream conservatism: far-right militias, the far-right wing of the party.
What counts as far-right shifts with political context—positions once considered fringe may move toward the center, or vice versa.
