Comparative politics is very sketchy, but I agree with Great Again. The GOP still is a big tent party and candidates like Kasich, Jeb and Christie still received significant amount of votes. So I agree that the GOP roughly encompasses the European far-right (Trump, Bannon) + the more right-wing factions of the European centre-right (I can't imagine people like Seehofer, Fillon and Zijlstra as Democrats for different reasons).
But the question is whether you can call AfD conservative. They only have clear positions on immigration and if the evolution of other far-right parties is any indication the economically statist wing (I'm not really sure whether left-wing is the right word for this) will be much stronger than the libertarian wing in a couple of years.
Pls stop with the "random DSA dude would be centrist in Europe" meme btw.
